Small Town Values
We live in a small community in Eastern Iowa, where everyone knows everyone. So, when you shop with us, we treat you like family: top notch individualized service with high quality products, all personalized to fit YOU. We wouldn't want anything less as clients!
About Us
It all began with a dream.
In 2014, after a lifetime of woodworking projects (starting with our dads in childhood, and stretching into adulthood) and a keen interest in sawmills, Jeremy embarked on building his first Alaskan sawmill. From there, we kept expanding, adding shared interests and hobbies, and growing our small business into what it is today.
Whether it's sawyer services, woodworking, or custom swag, we are proud to offer white glove service with high quality products, and creative customizations. Nifty Woodworks is truly a labor of love. From our employees to our services and products, we love what we do and we hope you love what we can do for you, too!
The Team

The Sawyer
Jeremy is the woodworker behind Nifty. Taking his old gamertag along for the ride, Nifty Woodworks is his namesake. He's the guy running the sawmill and leading our production team.

The Creative
Rachel is the creative brains behind Nifty Woodworks, including our logo and website, as well as marketing. She even develops most of the plans we use to produce our projects!

Caden is one of our production techs. He has been with us since early 2024 and is a hardworking addition to our team, ensuring every order is engraved to perfection!

The Superstar
Lorelai is one of our production techs. She has been with us since mid-2024 and helps with engraving drinkware and making orders look flawless!

The Artiste
Gwen has been out in our shop since she started walking. She loves organizing, but is also known to tag random surfaces with Sharpie. Don't be surprised if you receive a shipping box with her art--it's an OG Gwen Creation. ;)

The Conversator
Toby loves to carry on a good conversation and can tell you everything you ever needed to know about virtually any vehicle or tool. He loves ride-alongs in the skid loader, and dreams of becoming the first astronaut to drive an excavator on the moon!

The Goodest Girl
Sadie is our shop mascot. She loves napping in sawdust and is especially adept at herding humans. Don’t worry: she loves to greet new guests in her loudest voice, but she is also literally scared of bugs--all bark, no bite. :)
