Five partners, one shop
Founding Fathers Fabrication is five partners running a small CNC shop in Dickinson, North Dakota. We started it to build things people keep: signs that hang on a cabin for decades, gifts that get passed down, and pieces that carry a company’s name with some pride.
The name is a nod to the people who built this country with their hands. Everything we sell is designed and made here in North Dakota.
