How it’s made

From first idea to finished piece — here’s what you can expect when you commission Ad Hoc Creations. Every job is different, but the approach is always the same: thoughtful design, clean making, and a tidy finish.

  1. 1) Enquiry

    Share your idea, rough dimensions, where it will live, and any inspiration photos.

  2. 2) Design

    We confirm materials, layout, and finish. For custom jobs, I’ll share a simple mock-up if helpful.

  3. 3) Make

    Cutting, shaping, prototyping (when needed), and test-fitting — quality first.

  4. 4) Finish

    Sanding, sealing, paint/stain, and final details so it looks great and lasts.
