Some Jobs Are Straightforward
Those are the easy ones. Quick discussion, clear dimensions, then get to work.
custom jobs / one-offs / strange requests welcome
Custom work is usually pretty simple on the front end. You send the idea, we talk through the job, and then I figure out whether it is a quick make, a true one-off, or something that needs a little figuring out first.
The better the starting info, the less guessing has to happen.
Not just what it looks like. What it needs to hold, protect, fit, hang on, strap to, or survive.
If it needs to fit a tool, knife, notebook, belt size, or weird object, send those details early.
Photos, sketches, rough doodles, screenshots, or “something like this but not exactly” all help.
Every custom is a little different, but the rhythm is usually the same.
Those are the easy ones. Quick discussion, clear dimensions, then get to work.
If it is a new pattern, a weird fit, or something that needs tooling built around it, there may be a little setup before the finished piece happens.
Fresh photos and progress tend to show up on social first, which is another reason to message there.
Some jobs stay one-offs forever. That is part of the point.
