I joined CustomMade about 3 years ago with the intention of having a place to showcase some of my intarsia pieces. Since then they have gone through many changes and have grown to be one of the best sites available for the small guy to pick up work. The way it works is the client posts a job on the job board they would like to have done. They give details of the job, their price range, and location. The Makers look at the job board and if they would like to do the job, express interest. The client then selects the maker by reviewing the maker's portfolio and work out all the details-price, shipping date, payment schedule,etc.The maker pays a commission to CM for the job. Once the client receives the product they are prompted to write a review of the project and maker. The more reviews you get the further up the ladder you go on the job board
