Frankenstein Metalworks custom metal fabrication process in Santa Barbara, from design to finished product

Our Craftsmanship Process

Every piece from Frankenstein Metalworks begins as an idea and is transformed into a unique, handcrafted reality. Our transparent, step-by-step approach ensures your vision is realized with precision and care.

1. Design Consultation

We start by understanding your vision, whether it's a custom cutting board, metal art, or functional piece. We discuss dimensions, materials, and aesthetic preferences to create a detailed concept.

2. Precision Fabrication

Using premium metals and expert techniques in our Santa Barbara workshop, we cut, shape, and weld your piece. We specialize in food-safe finishes for cutting boards and durable coatings for art.

3. Finishing & Quality Assurance

Each piece undergoes meticulous finishing—sanding, polishing, and sealing—followed by a rigorous quality check. We ensure it meets our standards for beauty, function, and longevity.
