The shop process
TIMELINE VARIES BY PROJECTA conversation about what you’re trying to achieve - use case, dimensions, materials, and budget.
CAD drawings and material selection based on that conversation.
A material test cut or proof before the full run starts.
CNC, laser, or print work executed to spec.
Sanded, sealed, or coated to match the intended use.
Picked up at the shop or shipped, packaged for the piece.
One person. Every detail.
Peregrine Design Werx is Patrick Ruster - a Vermont-based designer and maker. When you work with PDW, you work directly with the person doing the work: no account managers, no hand-offs, no surprise subcontractors.
Every project ships with clear communication, a price agreed up front, and a piece built to last.
Not sure what it’ll cost?
Send a sketch, a photo, or just describe the thing. Thirty minutes, free - we talk through materials and size, and you get a real number instead of a guess.
Pricing
Every piece is a custom quote - price depends on material, size, and complexity. $150 covers the smallest one-off jobs; larger custom builds and production runs are quoted after a quick conversation.
Straight answers
BEFORE YOU ASKDo I need a drawing to start?
No. A sketch on a napkin, a photo of something similar, or a description of what it needs to do is enough. CAD and material selection are step two, and they’re my job - you bring the idea and the constraints.
Will you do just one?
Yes. One piece or one hundred - the process is the same, only the run length changes. Single custom pieces are most of the work that comes through the shop, not an exception to it.
What if it doesn’t come out right?
That’s what the prototype step is for. A test cut or proof gets made before the full run starts, so material and fit are settled while a mistake still costs an hour instead of the whole job.
