The Dee

I am Roger-Denis Tardif, the creator/operator of DeeWorks.
I graduated as a machinist in 2004 years and I love what I do. Back when I was a kid I’ve always been passionate about just any mechanical assembly and all the machine that was used to “form” that steel. Constantly ripping everything apart to see how it was made. That curiosity never left me and right out of High School I took my machinist class. Motivated by my need to make all kind of project, I found a job that gave me access to their machine on my spare time. First car of mine back then was a Volvo 740 turbo 1985 on which I immediately started to make pieces for it. It’s that car that set a passion inside me for building cars, upgrading turbos and old volvo. Later on I got myself my actual 940 turbo that started it all on which I installed a lot of machined parts. As my pieces started to catch attention on a few Volvo forum I started to make duplicate of them and sell them in small quantity, slowly building my product line.

 

The Works

Using the machine at my disposal I made custom parts for friends, car enthusiast forum members and a few aftermarket car parts seller. I also had my own line of product that I sold online thru the forums and on eBay. With the growing demand for custom parts and the good feedback that I received, I decided to create DeeWorks in January 2012 to give an official name to my work. With that new name I finally opened my website and started selling my product here and worked hard to add more product to my lineup.

A few years later it all grew up to something bigger. My bedroom was now an inventory room and it was obvious change needed to be made. In 2016 I bought a house with a big garage that would house Usinage RD Inc, my legal company name in Quebec, Canada. I then bought my own CNC equipment and registered my business. I still machine parts for friend and various aftermarket seller and have new product coming out monthly. I have a dedicated machine for torque plate and am in the process of acquiring a 3rd machining center and hopefully work with new customer and new product. I put a lot of care and dedication in my work, from the design to the packing everything is done by me with extreme attention to details.
