Alan Austin Estate

Alan was an Air Force pilot in the Vietnam war. His passion for flying fueled his love for precision parts and aptitude. Alan became a metallurgical engineer and worked for Fansteel/ Wellman Dynamics in Creston. A natural skilled craftsman with the materials detailed to back it up, Alan built and flew his own Ultralight Aircraft. Always finding success in his craftsmanship he started to design and build homes in Afton. Not stopping there he became a co-owner of carpets, cabinets & things to finish out homes around the area. Always on the go Alan found time to restore antique cars and could fabricate missing parts on his lathes to get them back to original or close as possible. Alan attended and bid at auctions all around Iowa to find parts and other interesting things.
