FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED / NEWMAN LAKE, WASHINGTON

A small family shop.
A fairly long job description.

I'm Dave. Gauge & Gear is our family-owned and operated business in Newman Lake, in Eastern Washington.

I'm also the drawing department, planning department, 3D modeler, engineer, programmer, soldering station, packing crew and shipping department. The staff meetings are brief.

I like making things with a bit of character: woodwork you want to look at, moving parts you want to try, and connected gauges that bring something from your phone into the room.

Made in America, here in Eastern Washington. That's where our workbench is, and where the work gets done.

From the first sketch to the shipping label.

Your idea goes through the same pair of hands: drawing and planning, modeling and engineering, programming and soldering when the design calls for it, then making, checking, packing and shipping. Custom details are agreed before production.

The app is free to try. Selling the physical things we make is what keeps this family shop going.
