About Us

 Mason Road MFG exists to design and build useful, enduring things and to help others do the same.

Founded by Kerry Burns, an engineer, farmer, and patented inventor, Mason Road MFG develops practical products including shop fixtures, tools, and functional furniture.  Our work is grounded in the belief that the trades matter. Woodworking, welding, machining, and fabrication built the modern world, and remain essential to our future.

Some client customers seek finished products; others prefer the documentation (prints and cad files) to build in their own shops. We support both approaches. Our work spans from straightforward tools and fixtures to carefully designed pieces intended for long-term use.

When a project requires capabilities beyond a single shop, we coordinate solutions by connecting clients with a nationwide network of specialty manufacturers and maker spaces. No unnecessary complexity, just disciplined thinking and reliable execution.

Our mission is straightforward: thoughtfully produce useful designs, promote the trades, and leave the world better than we found it.
