I’m Dale, a mechanical engineer based in Eugene, Oregon with over a decade of hands on experience building, fixing, and developing mechanical systems and equipment.

The mechanical world isn’t a specialty I step into and out of. It’s where I live. Machines, products, systems, equipment. How they work, why they fail, what it actually takes to build and fix them. That understanding comes from a career and a life spent in the shop.

When something breaks down for a small operator or business, the fragmented model fails them. The engineer doesn’t touch the machine. The shop makes the part but doesn’t understand the system. Nobody owns the outcome. The same is true for someone with a product idea and no clear path from concept to part.

I own it. From the first conversation to the finished result, engineering, building, and everything in between. One person accountable for the whole job.

• Equipment is down and the dealer can’t get there for two weeks
• A part is obsolete, unavailable, or needs to be reverse engineered
• Something works, but not reliably or not the way it should
• A fix exists but it’s a workaround, not a real solution
• Custom components are needed and no one else can make them
• The problem doesn’t fit a clean category and no one else wants to touch it
• A new product needs to go from concept through prototype to production-ready parts
• A new piece of equipment, fixture, or tooling needs to be designed and built
• An existing process works but needs to be improved or scaled
• A system needs modification, improvement, or automation
