Wood work commission request

A non member is reaching out to see if he can hire someone to make him a dog treat dispenser


His dog passed, and he’d like to put a plaque or something on it as well to commemorate her. Here’s what was shared with me:

“…I was hoping you’d know someone who does custom woodworking type stuff. I’d like to put a dog treat dispenser box on a post along the sidewalk in front of my house, with a plaque on it to memorialize my dog. I found some options online where I could have it made and shipped but I’d like to get someone to make it locally if possible”

@leif_swanson may be able to help with the plaque

If you’re interested in taking this on, reply here

Howdy Evelyn,

I would love to help with this, but I am going to need more specifics regard the plaque.

Best Regards

Leif Swanson

A few questions…

is this a box that dog owners can open to get treats, or something that the dog can operate? Either is fine, but the 2nd may be much more complicated to build.

Does the requester have plans to work from? Materials? A budget?

Will it be mounted similar to what’s shown? Do they have the ability to mount it?

@leif_swanson I sent you a direct message

@Tony he just wants the box, he’ll have a post to mount it to himself. He want something that’s open to by people
I asked him about his budget, and he really doesn’t have one. So if you’re comfortable quoting him material in labor, he can take it or leave it
For his contact info, would you prefer email, text, out phone call?
