Our Journey: The Story of SturdiGuns

Crafted with care, built to last, and driven by resilience.

First Workshop

Humble Beginnings

In 2009, SturdiGuns was born from the creativity and determination of Michael Griswold, the oldest of eight siblings. Crafted in his grandparents' basement using a jigsaw, these early creations were so beloved that the vision of large-scale manufacturing took shape.

First CNC Machine

Acquiring Our First CNC Machine

In 2010, prioritizing product quality, Michael, supported by his parents Wayne and Susan Griswold, sought to enhance production. Moving beyond the limitations of a jigsaw, SturdiGuns aimed for CNC precision. After years of searching, we acquired our first CNC machine in 2012, marking a pivotal step toward sturdier, more durable toys.
