ABOUT US
Passion
​
Creating and customizing with metal and wood is our passion at AlpenCraft. Founder Evan Horst has spent most of his life enjoying the outdoors and learning skills to maintain, optimize and design features on the tools used to work and play outside. Creating furniture from scrap pieces of metal or pieces of wood left behind from a log has spawned an inspiration for creating artistic home furniture pieces. From the right accessories to fit your raft, to helpful customizations on your daily driver, the real enjoyment is working with customers on their ideas and helping them come to life with the skills we have at Alp[enCraft. Whether its working with rough cut lumber for furniture from your property or welding a custom part for the unique idea or design someone has, we’ve got you covered.
Quality
​
Quality is extremely important to us at AlpenCraft. After several attempts to find a part that might work or trying to buy that piece of furniture to fit into his home, Evan realized that it was easier to make the perfect piece and create less waste. Often times materials that were slated for the landfill can be repurposed and transformed into a center piece through patience and skill. The green 1949 Ford F3 truck in this photo was a family heirloom that sat in a barn for years until Evan took possession of it. After a light makeover the old Ford F3 looks almost as good as it did 70 years ago. At one time Evan worked as an arborist and collected wood from trees that blew down or died. The red oak in the bed of his Ford F3 is one of those trees. What was destined for a wood chipper or fireplace became a beautiful functional bed of a truck. This is our inspiration - recognizing quality materials and incorporating them into our daily lives instead of buying more disposaable things on line.
The Story
​
At AlpenCraft we are all about your story. Maybe its the idea you had to design something yourself, but needed help bringing it to fruition. Maybe you have something sentimental that needs to be repurposed into something more useful in your life. Or maybe you just want something that is unique and made from high quality materials that you can't buy online. We want to collaborate with you to see your vision come true.
