About
Hi, I'm Ryan.
Operating from my one-man shop in the Texas Hill Country, I design and create high-quality, custom gym equipment as well as signs and metal goods.
Why Caracara Metal?
Caracara Metal is named after the Crested Caracara — a bold and unique bird my son has always been fascinated by. It’s a bird of prey native to Texas, known for being smart, tough, and able to adapt to almost anything. It’s not your average bird — it stands out, survives, and figures things out.
That spirit really clicked with me. Metalworking takes the same kind of mindset — turning raw materials into something strong, useful, and built to last. Every piece I make reflects that: from clean cuts to solid welds, it’s all about doing the job right.
Most of all, Caracara Metal is rooted in family. My son’s love for this bird sparked the name, and it’s grown into a business built on care, craft, and quality. Whether it’s a sign, a planter, or something completely custom, I build it with pride and purpose.
Caracara Metal isn’t just a business. It’s a story, a passion, and a commitment to building something that lasts—just like the mighty bird that inspired it.
