Since 2000
A Texas workshop, not a warehouse.
Machine Magic 2000 is owned and operated by Glen Burns in Cibolo, Texas. We opened in August 2000 and have treated our customers like part of the family ever since. We machine and manufacture everything from raw materials, and each iron is hand assembled. As Glen puts it: “The pride is making it from scratch — raw materials, assemble it, and sell it. That's rewarding.”

Still hand-built in Cibolo
Same address, same bench. Glen still machines and assembles every iron — and certain parts are deliberately made so only a machine shop could reproduce them. His version of a patent, built into the metal.
Same bench, same standard.
Every iron is machined from raw stock and hand assembled in Cibolo. See the full line.
