    This is Great! The end result is better than I envisioned. Bill Browne asked all the right questions about things I did not even know I wanted, and as I said the end result is far better than I could ever have expected. As a craftsman he is the best I've seen. I will be ordering from him again, so get your order in before the secret is out, and he is booked for the next 10 decades.

    For Vintage Transistor radio digital music player

    Bill was great to work with and really helped me not only realize my vision but flesh it out along the way. This was a collaboration in the best possible way using a service like custom made. I had the whacky idea to make an old transistor radio into a designated MP3/music player but no idea how to make it a reality. Bill immediately picked up my proposal and with a few emails back and forth, not only saw my vision, but put me on the quick path to realization. Bill was always easy to work with, prompt and precise in his responses and I think, took as much pleasure in making this happen as I did in thinking it up. Bill obviously knows his stuff when it comes to electrical engineering and as there is no playbook for what i wanted he dug in an added features and functionality i had not ever thought of orginally. Again, this was a collaboration in the true sense and incredibly from across the country but with Bill's expertise and demeanor and the internets, easy and fun. A few weeks later and some input on decisions I had exactly what I had pictured in my mind and for an incredible value for a custom made piece of electronics. Bill even made a quick Youtube video tutorial and sent project pictures along the way. Great experience with both Bill Browne and Custom Made. Thanks guys, already dreaming up my next one...

    For 100 Wood blocks, 3" x 3" x 3/4" Birch, Poplar or MDF

    Working with Bill was fantastic. He provided me with exactly what it is I wanted - excellent craftsmanship and quick delivery. Yes it was only 100 blocks, but they arrived undamaged and all the cuts were smooth like butter. Hopefully the project I'll be using these for will be successful and I'll get to work with Bill again.
