Will the ink art also work on aluminum, like say on a TRA REO? Or one of those spiffy Tbev boxes?Yes mamink on stainless; opens up a lot of new possibilities in almost any colors.

This is the same thing on an Al Reo door. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it seems good. Just got a couple new TRA grands and am thinking about trying it on the entire body of one of them. The other is getting polished, for sure.

Brother, your work is simply AMAZING
Thanks, looks great! I wish I had a CV to see those on, I bet that would also be a good match. Here's the only pic I got of it before sending:

I really like my Vertex, so I'm going to keep it. But I'm selling this copper afc; I'm going to use the black with this one. Anybody here wants it before I put it up on my site, let me know. I'll give it a day or so.

Hey gang, I have a PSA to disseminate here today. I'm going to need to put a hold on all new custom orders for a little while. I hate to say it, but it's the best decision for now.
As some of you know, my primary job is staying home with my little boy. In the last couple weeks he has stopped taking a nap during the day, thereby wiping out a huge chunk of my availability for the spa. I've been unable to make much progress on the new shop, so if I don't find a way to carve out more time, we will not get back to 100% operational if I keep taking on custom work. I'll be putting out some pieces on the site, but all pending the time to do so. This is a tough decision that I hope doesn't kill all the momentum we've initiated.
My goal is to focus on getting a proper shop set up and all new tools and offerings dialed in over the next couple months so that I can bring you a top quality product and service in a timely manner.
Custom turnaround time has more than doubled recently, to a point that I no longer feel is acceptable. I don't think anyone wants to have $ & gear tied up for a month.
Some very, very cool work will be coming out, but to make it top notch, I need to give it the time it demands.
Hopefully this adjustment will help facilitate a quicker move and set up so we can get back to the business of making kick ash mod finishes. Thank you all so much for your support and understanding. Believe me, there's nothing I want more than to make this venture a success.
Stay tuned, I'll provide updates as I have them.
ETA: all current custom orders will be completed and shipped asap, so if you already have one in, don't worry, you're all set.

Mark, you're personal life takes precedence over patinas. Your work speaks for itself and I'm sure everyone understands the pressures of juggling work and home life etc. I know you're working on something for me and if you want to stick it in a drawer for a while until you get sorted I'm absolutely cool with that.
Hey thanks guys! I'll have no problem getting you all finished up Grrr. I've had just enough custom work continue to trickle in to fill up my plate, but without the kid napping it's just been taking me longer than I am comfortable with to finish and turn them around and also build out the new setup. My plans for the new shop will make the spa markedly improved, and that's the main goal for right now. It is my hope that a coule months will give me the time I need and we will hopefully then be able to do way more, on a higher level.
Hope the previous post didn't make it sound like an end, more so, seeing the potential that exists, current parameters necessitate me scaling back temporarily in order to fully realize the Spa.

Just to put it all out there, my plan is to be offering patina, ink, cerakote, hydro dip, maybe torching, polishing, media blasting; you get the idea. These capabilities are right at my fingertips, but my current limited availability is forcing me to choose between trying to realize these things, or just tread water. I'm all about the growth, so I think this is a good call.
No problem at all, I can definitely wait to send my stuff in. Thinking may want to go for a different patina anyway, so we'll see after the TMod arrives and I see how blue it turns out.
Shipped another custom out today, an authentic Sir Lancelot in Purple. One step closer to clearing the queue and getting into new shop mode

It's been a while since I've posted. Just a reminder that I'm not currently accepting custom orders, but don't worry, there are a bunch of new pieces that will be hitting the site soon!
Progress on the new shop, still a month out at least. Here's a couple of customs just finished; I'm almost caught up

Still loving my matching door and N22! Still not using them as I want to make sure they're cured well. When you get set up and doing customs again, I have a couple small items I'd like to get done. But that can wait until later on.

Will you be posting pictures of the progress of the new shop? I would like to see them.
I will want a custom door from you when you get ready. Not in a hurry.
