About Us

Olson Iron Works currently operate lasers and various CNC equipment not only to make ornamental products, but we manufacture thousands of parts for Mom-and-Pop shops to Worldwide organizations. Laser cutting, Auto cad and helping develop products and ideas is what we love doing. If you are looking for outsourcing or need production parts, we can help with that. 

I started welding and fabricating at an early age. My skills continued to develop through my early years thank to my father and shop teacher. I joined the Marine Corps at the age of 17 and continued to develop my knowledge while working on AV8B Harriers and various types of gas, diesel, and turbine powered equipment. I also fabricated numerous types of parts for lifted trucks. I moved back to Iowa and bought a acreage where I began to work for farmers repairing and building equipment while working on machines in a factory at night. I soon joined the Iowa National Guard as a firefighter and again my welding and fabrication skills came to good use developing and creating protective equipment during my deployments to Iraq and other various places.  I was a career firefighter for 20 years and continued to work on my days off form the fire department in my shop while continuing to grow my business. 

My wife Alisa and I have 3 children and enjoy every moment with them. Our kids continue to grow and want to spend more and more time with dad in the shop working on many small projects.

  I have always made unique gifts and creations to give to folks as gifts. After speaking with my wife in 2012 we decided to open a small shop in an old, remodeled barn where I could continue my passion of working with my hands.  Olson Iron Works LLC was born and today I continue to do what I love making that idea you have come to life.

So if you have an idea for a custom item let us know or just order one of our creations right here from our site. Thank you for thinking of us on your next project!
