GETTING STARTED

Are you thinking its time to build that dream dining table?  Does your mudroom need a new bench?  Does your vinyl collection and turntable need their own home?  Below you will find where you start and what to expect as your project moves forward.

Step 1

Let's Talk

Send me your ideas and we'll talk about what's possible. Be sure to include any important timeline information.

Step 2

Inspiration & Sketches

I'll develop your custom design with hand drawn sketches and mechanical drawings.  I still prefer a pencil, and simple t-square for most of my design work. 

 

Once we are close to a design, I will provide a preliminary cost estimate.

Step 3 (optional)

3D Renderings

Would you like to see more? Design services that include 3D computer models and a color rendering are also available.

Step 4

Moving Forward

After discussing materials, finishes, design and details an estimate will be provided, which typically holds that price for 30 days, unless there are changes to the piece. 


Typically, a $100 deposit will hold your place in line.  After we finalize the design and provide a final cost estimate (if needed), the remainder of a 50% deposit is due to begin construction.

The Build

I build your new piece. I'll keep you updated with periodic check ins and in-progress photos.
