Creativity + Imagination + Curiosity = We Design and Make Things

At Evil Mad Fabricator we specialize in bringing your ideas to fruition. Our mission is to design and fabricate anything that can be imagined. Or at least within reason. Utilizing a combination of traditional craftsman trades, CNC milling along with a variety of other digital fabrication services. Additive and subtractive manufacturing. We welcome you to explore our world of creativity and innovation.

Projects range from traditional to the absolutely absurd. Though we were taught that all work is honorable, most often we are looking for technical and creative challenges that exercise our mind, spirit and skills. We provide fixed bids hen possible or work hourly when scope is difficult to define. Monthly retainer packages for long projects when you need to lock in a block of time for ongoing bandwidth demand.

Brian Williford has five decades of tinkering experiences to draw from. Taking everything apart from a young age just to see how something worked. That became an excellent foundation for visualizing putting things together that do not yet exist.

Old World Craftsmanship + Data Driven Fabrication   

Traditional craftsmanship based on heritage skills is a form of cultural preservation. In the analog world a measurable percentage of the product yield is accomplished though the human experience. Brain, brawn and a half century of acquired skills is our foundation. Iterated, refined and often re-imagined for the times. Sometimes a new tool comes along that can assist the craftsperson on their journey. However a majority of the glow emitting from a final product has a direct connection to the energy of the person who created it.

Digital design, digital fabrication and digital manufacturing are often thought of as a process to reduce human interaction. Sometimes necessary to produce thousands of parts with consistent precision. Other times to increase cost effectiveness. Neither of these are a primary driver in our work ethos. Our view is with the assistance of computer controlled machinery can yield something extraordinary which can not possible or effectively be done by hand. Mixing this technique with traditional craftsman skills can effectuate a phenomenal body of work.
