Hello again everyone, i havent posted in a few days, been gathering my thoughts.
First thing id like to talk about are some of the projects im currently working on. And this is by popular demand in a way. I know a few of you out there are excited to see more of my work. And i am more than happy to show and tell. There are a few rules I follow pertaining to show and tell.
1.) I only show finished work except to the customer for which its made. I keep them well informed of the progress on their particular implement.
2.) In respect for the customer's privacy, I only show finished work with the explicit permission from the owner of the piece.
3.) While a project is ongoing, I do not post pictures. I may talk about it, but i will not post any unfinished work.
With that said, i have a few projects that I am working on. I have 2 paddles i am currently working on, 1 flogger and 1 crop i am working on. Most of the time its a slow process unless I already have the materials. Which is a rare thing. I make all implements that are ordered custom. They are never premade. I may make implements just to sell if somone may be looking for it...but 90% of the time, i make them in accordance with each customer's needs/wants. I find that more often than not, everyone wants something that will become personal to them. Cookie cutter implements at a porn shop does not do this for anyone. None of my work is in a store, nor will it ever be. Unless i decide to open a store of my own, which is not out of the realm of possibility.
My prices are not sky high. And typically...with my work I live by the rule of "good work aint cheap, and cheap work aint good" i understand that very good implements are hard to come by. That is the reason I started doing what I do. I was strolling through my local porn shop a few years back...just to see what all i could see. I saw cheap almost chinese ordered cookie cutter gear...that was selling for a high price. I thought to myself, if i used any one of these items, they would be garbage within 1 session. Implements and equipment are ways of an investment within the lifestyle. Or at least thats the way I see it. Noone wants to spend $1000 on something for it to be junked out within a month. That to me is what i see alot of. And it is sad. I know, im not the only one within the community that builds. I also never claim i am the best. Nor do i ever claim that my work is better than anyone elses within the community. But i do my best at making dreams a reality for alot of people. I take pride in this. I will always to my best to make anyone im working with happy.
This blog is in no way anykind of advertisment for anything, nor is it a way to sell anything to anyone. It is simply telling alittle more about myself and what i do.
These two pics are of the same paddle i made. Alot have seen it already. Some have not. It is then front view and the back view. The first picture is the final product. I had to change out the handle wrap because i didnt feel like the colors in the second picture matched this individuals personality. Black and red is a much better fit. The treadplate is recessed into the wood and i have added a rubberized sealant around the edge just for added measure. I take no chances with somone getting cut. I would feel terrible.
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy.
