​1. Contact and Interest
 
Contact is made from you, the customer. Either for a custom design or a run spot.

If you have pictures, sketches, or a rough idea of a design, now is the time to show me!
2. Design, Discussion and Quoting
 
If the design is something the customer is requesting, I will look at the design and see if it’s doable. As I work using all manual machinery, there are some designs I am not able to accommodate, so will turn these down.
​
Once I’ve accepted a design is within my capabilities, I will quote a price and rough lead time.

Please note, that while I aim to try and create your dream saber, my hope is that you've gotten in touch with me because you like my style. As the artist, I retain the right to make the saber as I see fit and keep within my capabilities.

While the overall design will be yours and I am very open to discussion, if you ask something that is based on another makers design, or isn't something that 'feels' good to me, I may not attempt it.
3. Deposit
 
A deposit will be taken to confirm your spot on the commission list. Any required parts and materials will be ordered at this time.
4. Commission wait time
 
There may be a wait while commissions further up the queue are completed. At this time, design queries and small changes can be discussed.

My lead times are usually a few months from deposit to completion.
5. Work beginning
 
I will begin work on the project. Once I have started on this, there will be little scope to change the design. This is because I’ve pre-laid out plans, parts and materials to create the design as already discussed.

Changes to design can also interrupt the design process.
6. Progress and updates
 
As I work on the hilt, I will do my best to provide regular updates.
7. Completion & Final payment
 
When the hilt is completed, finally payment will be taken.
8. Pictures and delivery
 
I will provide a full photo album that will be posted to my website and social media accounts before packing and shipping the saber, fully tracked and insured.
