If you support small businesses, if you appreciate the trades, or if owning something that has been hand crafted speaks to you, consider investing in a Ute.
No music, no edits, no cool guy stuff, no buzzwords. Just straight talk.
When you invest in a Ute, you invest in the continued development and longevity of a one man show. It's just me in my small basement shop fabricating these by hand in my free time.
The blanks are laser cut to my design and specifications. When I pick them up from the local shop, they're rough cut, ready to be deburred and radiused, drilled, countersunk, sanded, and tapped.
They're then coated in small batches to assure consistency and uniformity.
The kydex arrives in sheets, ready to be cut to size on the cutter I repurposed for my needs. Each one is then drilled, countersunk, hand routed, smoothed, formed, and meticulously hand stippled.
Each Arca plate is drilled and modified to fit the specific Ute it screws into, assuring industry standard mounting to ball heads.
Once each of the above processes are complete, final fitments are done by hand and the components are assembled.
