BUILT WORK

Projects

This is the work that made it out of the idea stage and had to perform for real people, real deadlines, and real use. Fabrication builds, websites, event systems, and shop problems that had to work once the camera was gone.


ABOUT CHRIS

Practical builds, clean systems, and useful problem solving.

I am the custom fabrication manager at Empire Metal Products in Phoenix, and I have been working with the company for nearly 20 years. If your project needs professional fabrication services, our team at Empire Metal Products has the right equipment, processes, and shop support behind it to get the job done right.

Follincraft is where that same practical mindset shows up in websites, digital tools, project planning, camp systems, and consulting. I like taking a messy idea, figuring out what actually matters, and turning it into something clear enough to build, quote, repair, publish, or use.

The common thread is getting the plan straight before time and money get wasted. Sometimes that means mapping a website flow, checking a gear setup, building a small calculator, or asking the practical questions early enough to matter.
