    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.

    Xavier did an excellent job on my project! He was very professional and communicated with me throughout the entire process! I had very high expectations for this project. He delivered a product that was above and beyond my expectations:). I will be reaching out to Xavier in the future about other projects for my home. I highly recommend using him for any type of upgrade for your home or work space!

    The product that Xavier made for me to give to my friend is absolutely beautiful. I would not change one thing. The only thing that I wish we could’ve done better was communicate more and if he could have made a couple of deadlines. Otherwise, it was a great experience.

    Loved the final product. It took a while to get it, but it was the beginning of COVID so understandable.

    Xavier 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!
