Need something made?
Send a picture.

A photo, a sketch, a render, an image you made with AI — if you can show it, that's enough to start. A real person reads every request and tells you honestly whether and how it can be made.

How it works

No accounts, no sales calls you didn't ask for. Just a person looking at your picture.

  1. Show us what it is.A picture or two, what it's for, how many, and roughly when.
  2. We look at it properly.If something's missing, we ask. If it isn't something we can make well, we say so.
  3. You get a straight answer.How it could be made, and a quote if it's a fit. Then you decide.

The kind of things people send

If it fits in your hands and you can show us a picture, it's probably worth asking.

These pictures are illustrations of the kinds of requests we take, not photos of customer work.

Questions people ask first

Do I need a drawing or a CAD file?

No. A photo, a rough sketch or an AI image is enough to start. If we need measurements, we'll ask for the few that matter.

Does it cost anything to ask?

No. Sending a request is free and doesn't commit you to anything. If it's a fit, you get a quote and decide from there.

What if it can't be made?

We'll tell you straight, and why. Some things are better bought than made, and we'll say that too.

How many can you make?

From a single piece up to about 100 per design in-house. For bigger runs we can help source outside suppliers.

Where do you ship?

Across Canada and the United States.

What happens to my pictures?

They're stored privately and only used to reply to your request. We never publish them without asking you first.
