Even if you only work on Custom pieces, it would be a good idea to make up a webpage with pictures of your work. Very few people will buy anything without assurances that you can produce quality products, hence the need to showcase your work on a website. Think about it, eh?

Also, in your spare time you should make a few pieces of armor, put them on Ebay, and post it as an Ebay sale here. It's a good way to build up your reputation quick and make extra cash.
If I could I would post some of the pictures Chris has done of my belts. They are truely well done. His communication skills have been beyond reproach and he has been more than willing to work with my little ideosynchrosies.

With Lodinn's permission, I'll put up a webpage with the completed pics of the belts I'm making for him. I've just finished them this afternoon and they will be shipped out soon so I'll try to take as many pictures as possible. I was hoping to find someone to model them but unfortunately I don't have anyone they would work for.
Lodinn, if you want me to post pics just let me know, send me a quick e-mail.
I would be happy to have you put the pictures on line. I am really happy with them.

Just an FYI.... Look at Robert MacPherson's website. He barely ever has anything in stock..it's a gallery of his past work to show people what he's capeable of. You should consider it. Much easier than sending a billion pictures to everyone.
