Two grandfathers

DRAFT — AWAITING MAKER'S VOICE

The first thing I ever built was a police radio, from a Radio Shack kit, at my grandfather's table. I was ten. He checked my solder joints; I stayed up listening to dispatch calls through a crackle I had wired myself. A few years later my other grandfather put me in front of his woodshop bench and taught me that a joint you can't see still has to be right.

Nobody planned it, but that's the whole studio: one grandfather gave me circuits, the other gave me wood. Luvvo is what happens when you stop treating those as two hobbies and start treating them as one trade.

Today that's electronics I design and build myself. Sentinel sits on a desk — time, focus, and a quiet word when the air has gone stale — in wood and brass, with boards I build and test. The Panel hangs on a wall and runs a home locally when you want that — no subscription, no account, no Luvvo cloud behind it. Both get made in my garage in Roseville, California, one order at a time. When the catalog isn't enough, I take commissions for things that don't exist yet. Last year I left a corporate career to do this full time. The tools are modest for now, but the standard isn't: nothing ships until the finish is right and the board has run on the bench.

You own what you buy. I don't make money mining and selling your personal data.

There's no shelf and no stock. Your order takes its place in the build queue, and every product page shows the build time yours takes and when shipments begin. Those weeks are the cut list, the glue-up, the finish curing, and the board burning in on the bench.
