Rail Yard Studios

Did a marathon photo shoot last night at a sprint pace. Thanks to Nick McIntyre, Amy McIntyre, Matt Collins, Pop, Zach, Bobby, Anthony, Rick (the Vegan Redneck), Hillary, Ferf, Hattie, Zoe, Kate, Annie, and Rob Humphreys - whew that’s a lot of folks. Even Sally and a couple of Italian friends dropped by. The vibe last night was incredible!
Just had to share this candid shot - no set up. Lights were out int he studio and Zach needed to grind something down so his work area was lit solely by the sparks flying off of the steel he was grinding down.
Lots of new photos coming and new products. Stay tuned!

Waterjetted Random Shapes
Hmmmmm. These were done by a thin jet of water laced with granite dust that can cut through 5” thick steel. Now that gives me some ideas.

RAIL YARD STUDIOS creates custom furniture from salvaged railroad materials with a documentable history.

See finished pieces on our web site and keep up with what we are doing via Facebook.

With a demand for authenticity, we insist that only railroad materials be integrated into a design. Furthermore, all of our products are completely “Made in the USA” and are crafted in large part by the same hands that work the railroad on a daily basis – honest, hard-working blue-collar laborers.

About the Designers

Robert Hendrick, Rail Yard Studios founder and designer, learned about wordworking and carpentry on the weekends from his father Jim. Together they are the father and son team responsible for the creations that come out of the studio.

Robert was inspired to create Rail Yard Studios after seeing century-old materials being scrapped by his railroad maintenance and construction company.

He received his undergraduate degree in Industrial Design from Auburn University in 1990 and his Masters of Art in Industrial Design from The Ohio State University.
