Phase II — Build Direction

This room is reserved for accepted commission inquiries. The form below defines the build direction for a single tool and is not a payment step. A formal proposal will follow after review.

PHASE II — BUILD SPEC

Tell me what I am building for you.

This form is for a single tool. Stay focused on the piece you want included in your proposal and renderings. If you intend to commission more than one tool, submit this form once per tool.

You do not need to find perfect language. Give me your best description of the tool, materials, and presence you want, and I will translate that into a build concept.
