Let's say I buy a condo with one of your made-to-fit appliances. Will you be available to refinishing it?

Also, I'd love to hear more about your fabrication and design pipeline. This kind of work sounds utterly dreamy to me. I used to work in hardware as a SWE and loved the mix of programming and hardware work. I've also longed to start a business, but am somewhat at a loss as to what even to do.

I haven’t worked out all the details that is why I headquartered myself in an 8 unit mixed use studio apartment. My initial plan was to work out each appliances details in batches of 10. If something were to sell out I could make more. Once I got my CNC I realized I had outgrown my barn…. found an old model school. Spent all my development money to flip the plan. I would create 7 Studio apartments to cover my expenses and act as my market testing.

Currently I’m focused on my own 7 Apartments. Every big leap in living started by adding a new service to the kitchen.

fire, running water, electricity,….

Controlling the default installation for 8 kitchens should provide with a rare design freedom.

Finally I think I will be writing manifestos on technology and design. I have set myself up to only need to produce artifacts.
