About Us – Tisdel Woodworks & Tisdel DesignWorks

Welcome to Tisdel Woodworks – a true family-owned and operated business in New Prague, Minnesota, where quality, craftsmanship, and personalization come together.

Hi, I’m Paul Tisdel, owner of Tisdel Woodworks and Tisdel DesignWorks. For over 15 years (since 2009), my wife and our four kids have worked side-by-side with me in our small Minnesota shop to create beautiful, durable, and fully customizable products that people love to give and enjoy for years.

We started with a simple idea: build things the old-fashioned way — by hand, with care, using reclaimed barn wood and high-quality materials — and make them personal. That spirit still drives everything we do today.

What We Create

• Custom Wooden Games
  Our best-selling personalized cribbage boards (stadium-themed for hockey, basketball, football, soccer, and more), dice baseball games, horse racing board games with metal pegs, fishing brag boards, dice golf games, and other classic family favorites. Every piece is hand-finished, engraved or UV-printed with your names, dates, team logos, or special messages.
• UV Printed Gifts & Signage
  Full-color, high-quality UV printing on aluminum, plastic, and other materials — from custom name badges and conference tags to Yeti tumbler wraps, promotional signs, and unique decor. We specialize in durable, vibrant prints that stand out and last.
• TechMaster Carts & Precision CNC Manufacturing
  We design, fabricate, and ship high-quality TechMaster medical and service carts for our long-time partners. We also provide precision CNC part cutting for Piedmont Plastics and other clients — from HDPE components to custom aluminum work.

Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind game for a family member, professional-grade badges for a corporate event, or reliable carts that keep hospitals and service teams running smoothly, everything leaves our shop with the same standard: built to last, made with pride in Minnesota.

Why Families & Businesses Choose Us

• Family Run, Minnesota Made — Every order passes through our hands (and often our kids’ hands too).

Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to help you create something special.
