Hi, I’m Antonio, the face and hands behind Drag-In Creations.

I’ve always loved building things. Growing up in a very DIY family made that inevitable — my mom is into lapidary and jewelry making, my dad was into welding and fabrication, and I caught the bug early. If it looked fun to build, especially anything in wood or just about anything that caught my eye, I wanted to try it.

Like many makers, I got tired of wanting nice things but not being able to afford them, so I started making my own. That spark grew into Drag-In Creations, a small workshop based in a quiet town in western Montana.

There are actually two of us making this possible. My partner helps quietly in the background so I can stay focused on designing and building. I handle the public side, the machines, and the day-to-day making.

We design almost everything ourselves (with a bit of AI help for visuals since I can’t draw) and build in small quantities — usually in the spirit of “hey, I made this, would you like one?” rather than heavy custom work. I enjoy working with CNC, 3D printing, laser engraving (diode, CO2, and fiber), some welding, resin, and whatever other technique looks fun at the moment.

This is our first time turning a hobby into a real business, and I’m pouring everything into every piece I create.

Thanks for supporting a new small maker from Western Montana. Here’s to building cool stuff and not failing spectacularly.
