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 you are 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 likely not accept these commissions to avoid disappointment. 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 will 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. Deposits are £100, or 50% of the cost of the project, whichever is less. |
|
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. While I try and be accurate with these times, this is jot my full time job, so i work whenever I get time. My work simple takes as long as it takes. |
|
5. Work beginning
I will begin work on the project. Once I have started on this, there will be less scope to change the design. This is because I’ve pre-laid out plans, parts and materials to create the design as already discussed. When I begin making, my creative process and vision comes into play. I am unable to make lots of tiny specific changes to every part of the saber die to preferences. Changes to design can also interrupt the design process. |
