Wyoming Metalworks Has Everything You Need to Machine Custom Tools

Custom-machined steel tool built for a local contractor in Southern California. Precision CNC milling and welding ensure durability on tough job sites.

At Wyoming Metalworks, we turn metal into solutions. With fully outfitted shops in 29 Palms, California, and Arizona, we specialize in custom tool machining and precision metal fabrication for clients across the Southwest. Whether you’re a builder, contractor, manufacturer, artist, or part of a specialized trade, we understand that off-the-shelf tools don’t always get the job done. That’s why we offer complete custom machining services to create tools that match your unique needs—built tough, built accurately, and built to last.

The Custom Tool Advantage

Custom tools aren’t a luxury—they’re often a necessity. Whether you’re working in construction, welding, mechanics, or specialty manufacturing, you’ve likely faced the challenge of modifying standard tools or working around poorly matched equipment. Our mission is to eliminate that frustration by offering fully customized machining solutions, right here in Southern California and Arizona.

With our expertise and machinery, we can craft:

• Specialized hand tools for repetitive or high-force tasks

• Custom jigs and fixtures to improve workflow or precision

• Fabricated dies and molds for production

• Metal brackets, guides, and tool components

• Replacement parts for outdated or imported machinery

• One-off prototypes or small production runs

Each tool is built with exacting standards and engineered to perform in your specific working conditions.

Full-Service Machine Shop Capabilities

At the core of our business is a fully equipped machine shop designed to handle a wide range of machining operations. We perform CNC milling, manual turning, threading, drilling, surface grinding, and welding modifications, combining old-school craftsmanship with modern technology.

Unlike large, impersonal machine shops, we take a personalized, hands-on approach to each project. We work directly with you to understand the application and recommend the best machining techniques, materials, and design improvements. Whether you’re creating a simple alignment jig or a complex part for fabrication equipment, our skilled machinists will deliver with precision and care.

Built from the Right Materials

Tool strength and lifespan start with the right materials. We machine a wide range of metals, including:

• Mild and hardened steel for strength and impact resistance

• Stainless steel for corrosion protection in outdoor or wet environments

• Aluminum alloys for lightweight applications

• Brass and bronze for smooth finishes and non-sparking use

• Tool steel for high wear resistance

• High-performance plastics for specialty needs like electrical insulation or reduced weight

Each material is chosen based on your tool’s purpose, working environment, and mechanical load. Whether you're working in the desert heat, coastal humidity, or inside a high-precision shop, our tools are made to last.

Proudly Serving the Southwest

While the name Wyoming Metalworks often raises eyebrows, we’re proudly rooted in Southern California and Arizona, serving both local and regional clients across the Southwest. Our shop in 29 Palms supports the High Desert area including Yucca Valley, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and surrounding communities. In Arizona, we serve clients in Phoenix, Tempe, Flagstaff, and beyond.

This regional footprint allows us to offer flexible support—whether it’s a consultation at our shop or a site visit through our mobile welding services. Many of our clients work in remote areas or construction zones, and we’re prepared to meet them where they are with the tools and services they need to stay productive

Custom Tool Machining Designed Around You

Our process begins with a conversation. Whether you call us with a rough idea or bring in a sketched design, we’re ready to walk you through the process. Once we understand your tool’s function, we’ll recommend appropriate materials and machining methods. If needed, we can generate shop drawings or mock-up designs before the final cut.

Turnaround time depends on complexity, but we pride ourselves on fast, responsive service. Many of our clients are working against deadlines, so we structure our workflow around real-world urgency—without compromising quality.

Mobile Welding & Field Modifications

In addition to our in-shop machining services, Wyoming Metalworks offers on-site welding and metal repair for clients who can’t come to us. This service is ideal for large equipment, structural steel, tool repairs, and on-the-spot customizations. Whether you're in a workshop, on a ranch, or at a job site, our mobile team brings high-quality craftsmanship directly to your location.
