Forged in Santa Barbara
Frankenstein Metalworks began with a simple idea: to bring the timeless artistry of metal fabrication to the homes and businesses of Santa Barbara. What started as a passion for transforming raw metal into functional art has grown into a dedicated local craft.
Our mission is to blend precision craftsmanship with creative vision. Every cutting board, every custom piece of metal art, is a collaboration—a fusion of your ideas and our hands-on expertise. We believe in the beauty of the handmade, the value of local skill, and the unique character that only custom fabrication can provide.
Rooted in our community, we are proud to serve Santa Barbara's chefs, designers, and homeowners. We're not just making products; we're crafting heirlooms and building lasting relationships, one piece of metal at a time.
