years of experience in Relationship support.
“Communication is the hardest part of any relationship. We’ve spent years studying how people connect, disconnect, and find their way back to each other. We realized that sometimes, words aren’t enough. The Mood Meter is the culmination of two decades of learning what makes relationships work: clarity, visibility, and checking in. We didn’t just build a meter; we built a bridge for your emotions.”
handcrafted Gear
made of durable hardwoods
Our shop is tucked away in Eastern Washington, where the changing seasons keep us inspired. Since 2002, this corner of the Pacific Northwest has been the backdrop for every project we build. There is something special about making gear in the same place we live—it keeps us grounded, focused, and personally connected to every box we ship out.
Beautiful.
“The Gauge looks stunning on our night stand. The craftsmanship is heavy and substantial, and the analog movement is incredibly satisfying. It perfectly blends mechanical engineering with high-end design. The finish on the wood is flawless. We absolutely love it.”
Hidden Utility!
“I needed secure storage that didn’t look like a safe, and this wall art is brilliant. The wood finish is flawless, and the hidden compartment is completely invisible to the naked eye. It offers peace of mind with a sophisticated aesthetic. Truly exceptional quality.”
Design & Quality
“Gauge & Gear has mastered the balance of whimsy and precision. The device fits my loft’s aesthetic perfectly—modern, tactile, and built with real materials, not plastic. It’s a conversation starter that feels like an heirloom piece. I appreciate the local PNW craftsmanship.”
About Us
Meet the Makers
Partners in life and work. We’ve been a team since 2002, building a life and a family together. Gauge and Gear is an extension of that journey. We love that this business gives us the chance to work side-by-side in the shop. We bring the same dedication to our products that we’ve brought to our marriage for over two decades.
Hands-on Craftsmanship
We believe true craftsmanship isn’t limited to a single medium. We don’t ask you to choose between the warmth of natural materials and the innovation of modern technology—we combine them. Whether we are smoothing a piece of walnut, modeling a complex 3D print, or designing and soldering custom electronics, our standard remains the same. We blend traditional woodworking skills with advanced digital fabrication to create unique solutions that you won’t find anywhere else. This hybrid approach allows us to build products that are not only durable and precise but also as functional as they are beautiful.
Personality included
We don’t do boring. We pour our energy into making things that feel good to hold and fun to use. Our goal is to break up the monotony of mass-produced goods with items that have real character and bring good vibes to your space. When you interact with our gear, we want you to feel the same excitement we felt while making it.
