Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I've been getting my hands dirty with metal for over 30 years. Everything is custom handmade by ONLY me (no employees or crew. just me). I have 10 years of experience woking with wood. I have a passion for making dreams a reality. Clients give me an idea, sketch, or specific list of needs. I work on a drawing to scale, and once approved I start on the project.
I would say my artistic creativity and blacksmithing skills are my strongest points, since I've been working the longest with them. I let my projects speak for themselves. I am a perfectionist and my own worst critic. 90% of my metal projects are mild steel, but I do work with other metals and any welding process.
When it comes to wood in my projects, I try to use repurposed wood whenever possible, but I'm not limited by it. Let's brainstorm, crunch some numbers, and make one of a kind custom pieces.

For Jutta's shelf5.0I'm very thrilled with the metal-and-walnut shelf Xavier built. It came out exactly like I hoped and looks utterly badass installed.
To get us there, Xavier put up with late specification changes and anxiety about being able to control the shipping. He sent a ton of photos, answered questions, and made suggestions. He was easygoing, responsive, and patient. Awesome job.

For Heavy Duty Shelf/Corbel Bracket5.0Xavier did an excellent job with my project! The cost was fair and he even delivered to my home for free. Not sure he does this all the time, but it just goes to show he is willing to go out of his way for you. Highly recommended!

For Vickie's metal panel / Metal Door4.7Loved the final product. It took a while to get it, but it was the beginning of COVID so understandable.

For Reclaimed Lumber Custom Chair Bar Stool4.7This project did take longer than what I had expected, but, issues with the shipping company and some miscommunication led to a longer lead time. The Maker did make up for the disappointing job the shipping company made, by actually delivering the product himself. From Texas to Michigan is no small trip. For this, they earned four starts. Timeliness earned four stars. Communication and professionalism made the project great. There were changes. but they were on it every step of the way. The quality of the bar stools is second to none. They truly are one of a kind. I assure you there are no others like it available. Each one weighs about sixty pounds and they will outlive me and the next person who has them. The value is unreal. We obtained much more than what I believed we would for the price we paid. The wait was well worth the product we received.
I give Xavier and his team two thumbs up. If they could control the shipping company, dealing with shippers is a tough business in itself, They would be five stars all across the board.
We will certainly be looking for Dirty Metal Secrets for our next project. Might make up a project just to deal with them again.
