Custom Builds & Machine Retrofits

You dream it, I build it. You own it.

I'm Drew. Tell me what you want something to do. I'll work through whether I can build it, what it will take, and what I still need to learn.

Bring an idea to life

Custom hardware, a prototype, a one-off build, or a mix of code and physical parts. You don't need a finished design to start a conversation. Bring the problem you're trying to solve.

Your finished build goes into your hands. We'll agree on what is included—hardware, source code, drawings, documentation, and any rights or third-party limits—before work starts.

Give an old machine another chance

A failed controller or unavailable part doesn't always mean the whole machine is finished. I can assess whether a retrofit, replacement control, or a new use makes sense.

I'll be straight with you about what I can take on. Some machines won't be practical or safe to retrofit. An assessment comes before a promise.

How to start

  1. Tell me what you want made, or what the machine used to do and what has failed.
  2. Include the make and model where relevant, what you've tried, your rough budget, and your deadline.
  3. I'll discuss feasibility and the information I need. We agree on scope, price, and handover before I start.
