Interested in a custom project?  I sell my projects and build on commission to support my hobby, but it is still a hobby at the end of the day. Lead times and whether or not I’m accepting work depend on real life. If you’re patient though, you won’t find tube gear built with more love or passion.

Please email me to see if I’m taking work and/or what projects I may have for sale!
