A&E Custom Builds

Built this custom mobile display cart from scratch. Clean design, solid frame, locking casters, and a front opening sized perfectly for a 32” screen so businesses can run ads, menus, or information right where customers can see it. I love builds like this where craft meets purpose — simple design, but every measurement is intentional. Curious… if this was in your business, what would you put on the screen? #woodworking #custombuild #explorepage #diy #explore

Everybody always sees the finished product… but this time I wanted to show the process behind the build 👀🛠️ I just dropped a step-by-step tutorial breaking down how I created one of my custom carts from start to finish — and the best part is it’s narrated by my son ❤️🔥 From the framework and measurements to trim work, painting, detailing, and final assembly, we put this together to give a real behind-the-scenes look at what goes into these builds. Having my son be part of the process made this one special for me. Building things with your hands is one thing… but being able to share the experience and creativity with your kids hits different 💪🏾 A lot of time, patience, and problem solving goes into every custom piece, and I wanted people to see the work behind what usually only gets shown as the final reveal. More builds. More tutorials. More memories being made. Would y’all want to see more narrated tutorials like this? 👀 #Woodworking #CustomBuild #DIYProjects #BuildProcess #Tutorial FamilyBusiness Maker Woodworker BehindTheScenes CreativeBuilds SmallBusiness WorkshopLife CustomFabrication FatherAndSon LearnToBuild DIYTutorial EventDesign Handma :::

Built this custom 9-foot merch cart from the ground up and I’m honestly proud of how this one came together 👏🏾🔥 This piece was designed to stand out in any venue, event space, pop-up, church lobby, conference, or retail setup. The entire cart is wrapped in clean fluted panel detailing for that modern luxury look, and I added hidden LED lighting underneath the removable top lid to give it that soft glow effect once the lights go down ✨ One of my favorite features is the removable front logo sign so branding can easily be switched out depending on the event or client. Clean, functional, and built to be reusable instead of a one-time setup. Details matter to me, so everything from the curves, proportions, lighting placement, and finish work was intentionally done to make this feel high-end while still being practical to transport and use. 9 feet long. Custom built. LED illuminated. Removable top. Removable branding. Fully wrapped in fluting. Built by hand. 💪🏾 This is exactly the type of work I love creating — custom pieces that become part of the experience, not just furniture.

Another custom build fresh out the shop 🎨✨ This custom retail/display cart was built completely from scratch and designed with a clean modern look while still being functional for events, activations, pop-ups, and branded experiences. The crisp white finish paired with the oversized pink logo gives it that simple but bold look that instantly catches attention 👀 One of the main custom features on this build is the precision cutout made specifically to fit a slide-in freezer unit seamlessly into the cart. I wanted the freezer integration to feel intentional and clean instead of looking like an afterthought, so the entire layout was designed around both appearance and functionality. Every panel, edge, and trim piece was cut, assembled, filled, sanded, and painted by hand to create that smooth seamless finish. Built on casters for mobility and designed for real-world event use, this cart is made to move, serve, and represent a brand professionally. I love creating builds like this because they combine creativity with problem solving. Taking a vision and turning it into something functional, mobile, and visually clean is always the goal 🔥 Perfect for: • Ice cream setups • Dessert vendors • Product sampling • Pop-up shops • Brand activations • Vendor events Custom built. Hand painted. Mobile design. Custom freezer cutout. Clean modern finish. Made with intention. 💪🏾 Building more than furniture — building pieces that help brands stand out. #CustomBuild #Woodworking #RetailCart #DisplayCart #CustomFabrication EventSetup PopUpShop BrandingDesign SmallBusiness CustomWoodwork CreativeBuilds ModernDesign VendorSetup Handmade BehindTheScenes DIYProjects EventDesign ShopBuild CustomMade BuildProcess IceCreamCart DessertCart VendorCart Client: @eatpinkcone

Decided it was time to have some fun with it! Everybody meet my new baby @merchthemoment 🩵 a mobile customization bar meant to add a little color to your next event! A month ago I found myself extremely creatively burned out. I was doing work that I felt like I had to, recovering from doing my best to build a business structure with @moremediaco that just wasn’t working for me, and still doing the best to get results for my clients. I knew that while I wasn’t willing to throw in the towel, I needed something NEW! Anyone who knows me knows I have 100 new ideas a day 😭 I figured it was time to just pick one and go for it! What’s the worst that can happen right? (Even though I’m praying I’ll never find out) . So yeah. Here we go. This should be fun! Now serving the DMV and east coast. I can’t wait to share the journey with y’all🫶🏼 Special thanks to @aecustombuilds for bringing my visions (and countless decisions lol) to life 🥳

Let the work begin. What are you waiting for? #mobilecart #explore #diy

Every step tells a story… but this one ends with something different. Built this custom mobile cart with a front opening for a 32” screen—perfect for ads, menus, or business info. But I want real answers— what would YOU actually put on the screen? 👇 #woodworking #explorepage #diy #explore #fyp

The older I get, the more I appreciate the details, the warmth of vinyl, the texture of wood, the character in a space. This upgrade took just a few hours: • A few rolls of wallpaper • An empty wall • A clear vision And the best part? It’s completely apartment-friendly. No major remodel. No permanent changes. Just smart design. Proof that you don’t need a full renovation to transform a room. From blank wall to backdrop for the soundtrack of my 40s.👴🏾 If you’ve got a blank wall and a vision, let’s build something. #reels #explorepage #homeimprovement #designbuild #custombuild woodworking makersgonnamake craftedspaces statementwall accentwall interiordesign homedesign homeupgrade modernhome apartmentfriendly customhome creativeentrepreneur beforeandafter elevatedliving detailmatters
