The North American Crafters, inc. journey to the arrival of Fallbrook Custom Estate Gates began in 1975 when 

I drove to Tijuana from Walnut, Calif looking for people to tie macrame' plant hangers.  This is me with my grandmother who was wishing me luck!

Serendipity brought me to the neighborhood called Colonia Gran Tenochtitlan shown. Macrame' was the first 

product produced by 

North American Crafters. 

As with all fads, macrame went out of style and was replaced by hand painting on wood in 1983.  This became the 2nd product of North American Crafters, Inc. producing 156,000 plaques per month.

In 2003 we switched gears to custom iron work focusing on fabricating for other blacksmith shops in the US and Canada.  We are a member of NOMMA, an organization for the elite ironworkers.  Membership is by invitation only :-)

After 20 years of fabricating for other blacksmiths, I decided to offer high quality blacksmithing direct to the public living in close proximity to Fallbrook, Ca.  With  a combined 50 years manufacturing in Mexico,  I think it is safe to claim that we are your best source for custom iron work.  I recognize the most common need is a beautiful custom estate gate and the security it provides.  

I have been a resident of Fallbrook for close to 40 years.
