From your headto your hand

Choose your situation

Your mark on almost any surface

A stainless steel nameplate with the logo in colour. The colour is an oxide layer, not paint, so it can't chip or fade.

We want our logo on something

Who this is for

Four kinds of people keep showing up

This is not a customer list. These are the situations that come through the door most often. If none of them is you, the work usually still fits.

Restaurants, bars and cafés

  • Table numbers, taps and signage that match the room
  • Branded coasters, boards and menu holders
  • A broken fitting on a machine nobody supports any more

Clubs, teams and events

  • Trophies, medals and plaques for a series or a season
  • Named gifts for a team, crew or leaving colleague
  • Anniversary and event pieces in runs of ten to a few hundred

Private people and hobbyists

  • A part for a bike, boat, guitar or old machine that is no longer sold
  • Engraved rings, knives, tools and gifts with a hidden line inside
  • A copy or a repair of something that already exists

Businesses and workshops

  • Serial numbers, data plates and permanent identification
  • Jigs, fixtures and prototype parts before a real production order
  • Colour and finish on metal for products and samples

Approach

The problem is the brief

I don't choose the machine first. I look at what you're making, how it will be used, and what you already have. The four entry points above are the door, not the menu. If the work needs a tool I don't have, it still goes through me. You deal with one person, not a supplier list.

Process

How a job runs

Four steps, most of them fast.

  1. You send a message

    A photo, a sketch on a napkin, or one sentence. All of them work.

  2. Half an hour on a call

    Screen shared, looking at the design together. This is where the method gets chosen and where most mistakes get caught.

  3. You get a price

    Usually the same day. Nothing is ordered before you say go.

  4. Prototype, then the real thing

    The first piece is rarely the last one, and that's the process working.

Before we talk

Here's what I'd need from you

A few details and I can price the job. If you don't know them yet, that's fine, we can figure them out together.

Contact

  • What it's for

    A logo, a gift, a machine part, a product

  • How many

    One piece or a few hundred

  • Roughly how big

    Palm sized, or give millimetres

  • When you need it

    A date, or say it's not urgent

  • What you already have

    A logo file, a photo, a drawing, a broken original

The skill is judgement, not equipment

What I bring is knowing which process fits a problem, and spotting the mistake in a design before it costs anyone money. Anyone can buy a machine. Knowing which one to leave switched off is the work.

I'm a research and development engineer by day, with a laser, a 3D printer, and a 3D scanner in my own workshop, plus access to a water cutter and a five axis CNC machine through the university when a job needs more than my own tools can do.

You get me, not a queue. The same person who quotes the job runs the machine, and is still reachable next year.

Good to know

Common questions

Let me worry about that part. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll be honest about what's realistic. I'm not saying I could build a cargo ship, but we're not far off.

One piece to a few hundred. Below ten, setup is most of the cost.

Most jobs take a few prototypes before they land. Materials are sourced in Finland, so restocking is days rather than weeks.

Oxide colour works on metal only. On wood, cork, and acrylic the mark is burnt, cut, or engraved.
