Maker Studio & Workshop
Built by hand. Driven by curiosity. From raw material to finished craft.
// About
AshForged is a maker studio rooted in the belief that the best way to understand something is to build it. We work across disciplines — from precision CNC machining and custom PCB design to blacksmithing and 3D printing — because the most interesting problems live at the intersections.
Every project is an excuse to learn something new, solve a real problem, and share the process. Whether it's a custom irrigation controller, a telescope mount, or a convention badge system — if it can be forged, machined, printed, or soldered, it belongs here.
// Disciplines
Custom circuit design in KiCad, ESP32 microcontrollers, JLCPCB fabrication. From grow light drivers to IoT sensor arrays.
Precision aluminum and brass work on the Nomad 3. EDC tools, enclosures, and mechanical components milled to spec.
Coal and steel. Learning the oldest fabrication trade — forging functional hardware and decorative ironwork by hammer and anvil.
Bambu Lab P1S with AMS. Rapid prototyping, functional prints, multi-material builds. From first draft to final part in hours.
Rocker boxes, enclosures, furniture. Combining traditional joinery with CNC precision for hybrid builds.
Documenting the build process. Real projects, real mistakes, real learning — Bill Nye energy meets shop class grit.
// Ethos
Every project solves a real problem. Aesthetics matter, but the thing has to work.
Failures are content. The process is the product. Share what you learn so others can build on it.
The best ideas come from mixing disciplines. A PCB designer who smiths. A machinist who codes. Keep the boundaries blurry.
Understand every layer — from the silicon to the software to the steel. Depth creates independence.
New projects dropping soon. Stay in the loop.
