Iron Workhorse Restorations LLC
Rescuing Industrial-Grade Machinery for the Modern Maker

About Iron Workhorse Restorations
At Iron Workhorse Restorations, LLC, we believe the best tools ever made should never be left to rust. Based in Amarillo, TX, we specialize in rescuing industrial-grade machinery—the iron workhorses of the past—and rebuilding them for today’s dedicated makers and craftsmen. Every project reflects our respect for American manufacturing heritage and our commitment to preserving it with integrity.
By combining mid-century mechanical excellence with 21st-century electrical modernization, we transform powerful industrial equipment into safe, reliable, and accessible shop tools. Our work bridges the gap between heavy industrial capability and the home hobbyist’s workshop. The result is machinery that performs as beautifully as it looks, ready to work for another 50 years.
