Austin Lampworks Brings Custom Craftsmanship and Timeless Restoration to Your Home
Whether you’re looking to restore a vintage lamp, repair a beloved piece of decor, or create something entirely new, Gary McNabb’s new shop, Austin Lampworks, is Georgetown’s premier destination for custom lighting solutions. This family-owned and operated showroom is dedicated to serving the lighting needs of everyone in the Austin metro area. With a focus on craftsmanship and customer satisfaction, Austin Lampworks offers a unique blend of artistry and technical expertise, making it a trusted name in the world of lighting.
Gary brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for his craft to the Georgetown community. Originally a low-voltage electrician, Gary found himself unfulfilled in his career. But, after taking a chandelier to a repair shop in Austin, his wife got the idea that the environment would be a perfect fit for Gary and her intuition was spot on—Gary began working in the field the very next day and discovered a new calling.
After many years honing his skills in Austin, Gary decided to open his own shop in Georgetown, a community he has called home for over a decade. He started with basic repairs, ensuring electrical components were in perfect working order. But it wasn’t long before his work evolved into something more. “People come to you with an idea of how they want something to work,” Gary explains. This led him to focus not only on repairs but also on restoring beloved, sentimental pieces and creating custom lamps from cherished objects.
Austin Lampworks offers a range of services, from simple repairs to full-scale restorations. Gary’s shop also boasts a carefully curated selection of premium lamp shades, specialty lightbulbs, decorative chains, chandelier crystals, and other hard-to-find lighting accessories. Gary notes, “Lighting is an important part of your overall interior design. We do not provide in-home consults like a designer might do, but I make sure whatever lighting you need is functional, beautiful, and exactly what you want.”
One of the standout features of Austin Lampworks is its custom lighting service. Gary can transform almost any object — an old typewriter, a wine bottle, or even a pair of deer antlers — into a one-of-a-kind lamp. “The only limit is your imagination,” he says. Each project, no matter how big or small, receives the same level of care and attention, ensuring your sentimental treasures remain functional and cherished for years to come.
Gary’s commitment to quality and customer service is evident in every aspect of Austin Lampworks. “I would rather people be happy with what they get than just take something off the shelf,” he emphasizes. This dedication has earned him a loyal following, with many customers coming from referrals by local antique dealers and lighting stores all over the region.
