Welcome to Dark Horse Design Tool Co.; tools to help make work, less work. Founded in 2024 in Vancouver, British Columbia, by Kristoffer Welch, a master finishing carpenter with a passion for excellence in the high-end single-family sector, and Amber Stace, a skilled residential painter with an eye for detail, our mission is to boost productivity and enhance the value of your workflow. Always focused on constant improvement, Kris has been designing simple tools and jigs to increase efficiency on the job for 25 years. In 2023, he set out to tackle a common problem with the repeatable accuracy of track saws and developed the Dark Horse Tape Stop™. Starting from a small 3D print studio with our first tool, we are ambitiously aiming to expand our operations into a comprehensive CNC manufacturing facility. Join us on our journey to improve the way work gets done. "
