Pretty special day here at Rhoades Customs.

After 37 years, 2 months, and 1 day with the South Dakota Department of Transportation, Steve Rhoades is officially retiring, and October 8, 2026 has been proclaimed “Steve Rhoades Day.”

Steve is a big part of what Rhoades Customs is built on: hard work, craftsmanship, problem solving, and figuring out how to make things work when there isn’t an easy answer.

We’re incredibly proud of him and everything he has accomplished.

Congratulations, Steve

We’ll engrave on just about anything.

From fi****ms and magazines to tools, optics, tumblers, signs, knives, metal pieces, and one-off projects, we’re always open to seeing what you have in mind.

If you’ve got something you want personalized, marked, branded, or turned into a gift, reach out and start the conversation.

Another AR finished up and ready to head home.

This one got a threaded barrel and a clean single-color Cerakote finish, giving it a simple, durable look without going over the top. Sometimes a solid color is all it takes to completely change the feel of a build.

If you’re looking to refinish, restore, or customize your fi***rm, reach out and let’s start the conversation.

We recently laser engraved this custom metal piece for Larry & Ruth (Team Witty).

This one includes the American flag, Army and Marine Corps emblems, names, and a clean border layout to bring it all together. A simple piece, but one with a lot of meaning behind it.

Engraving like this is a great way to create something personal, whether it’s for a gift, memorial piece, retirement, military service, business recognition, or just something you want made your own.

A little preview before the real project begins.

We painted this diecast model to match a customer’s .50 cal before we Cerakote the full-size version. It’s a great way to test the pattern, layout, and overall look before putting it on the actual fi***rm.

We’re looking forward to seeing this one come together on the real thing.

We recently laser engraved this custom appreciation sign for a company recognizing an employees 41 years of service.

Projects like this are a great reminder that engraving is not just about putting a logo on something. It can be used to recognize hard work, celebrate milestones, and create something that lasts longer than a card or plaque off the shelf.

If your business is looking for custom signs, employee recognition pieces, retirement gifts, or branded items, reach out and let’s start the conversation.

Here we took a wood stock and added engraved checkering along with the customer’s brand.

It’s a clean way to add grip, detail, and a personal touch without taking away from the look of the stock. This project turned out sharp.

If you’re looking for custom engraving on fi****ms, wood, metal, tumblers, or anything in between, reach out and start the conversation.

Most people know us for fi****ms, but that's only part of what we do.

This custom mailbox came through the shop for a fresh look and a finish built to handle the elements. Cerakote isn't just for guns, it's a durable coating that works on all kinds of projects.

Over the years we've coated and customized:

* Tools
* Vehicle Accessories
* Motorcycle Parts
* Signs
* Knives
* Adaptive Equipment
* Coolers
* Mailboxes
* And plenty of one-of-a-kind projects

If you've got something that's worn out, needs a new look, or you simply want to make it your own, reach out.
