What is the Trust Fall?
You bring me an object. I do whatever I think it wants.
You give up control, I give up the safety of a brief, and the object gets something it would not have gotten otherwise. Everybody wins. Especially the object.
That is the Trust Fall. You bring me something, a frame, a fixture, a lamp that has been on your bench for a year, and I do whatever I think the piece wants. No input. No mood boards. No approvals.
It started with bicycle frames. It did not stay there. These days it can be anything you can put on my bench.
It is not a budget option. It is a trust option. The discount is the trade.
- 01You hand it over.
- 02No input. No approvals.
- 03It comes back as itself.
What it costs
Two set prices, and a conversation.
Pricing, in short
- Bicycle frame, powder coat$425 + powder
- Bicycle frame, Cerakote$425
- Objects, hardware, everything elsedepends
Everything-else pricing depends on the object and the scope; we talk before we land on a number. Full frame pricing is on the Bicycles page, and object pricing is on the Finishing page.
Who this is for
This is not for everyone, and that is the point. If you have a specific outcome in mind and you want the surface finished to that spec, start with Finishing or the Bicycles page. The Trust Fall is for the other case, the one where you are curious what happens when someone else gets the last word.
Most people who end up doing this have seen one and wanted the next. A frame on a friend's bike. A fixture at a shop they visited. The pieces that come back are the ones that could not have been asked for in advance, because nobody knew the right thing to ask.
