At the fire station, we needed a better way to keep our tools organized and secure on the truck. My crew asked me if I could whip up some custom mounts using my 3D printer to keep everything in place and easy to grab during calls.

So, I got to work designing and printing mounts that fit our gear perfectly. It made a huge difference on the truck, and before long, other firefighters wanted their own.

That’s how Northern Creations 3D got started—making practical parts for the fire department that eventually grew into gear for workshops and tool storage everywhere. Each design is tested in my home workshop before selling to make sure it works well. It’s rewarding to deliver gear that helps firefighters and makers stay organized and efficient.
