Everything here is placeholder. The photographs are borrowed public-domain images — not Isaac's karts and not one build in sequence (sources). This direction needs 40+ photographs and ongoing writing, which is exactly what the project doesn't have. It's here so you can see what you'd be turning down.

Build no. 1 — TBC

From a pile of tube to a running kart in a weekend of Saturdays

Placeholder — the client's own account of the build goes here. Two or three paragraphs, in his words, about what it's actually like to make one of these.

Who draws these

Drawn by someone who builds them

Placeholder — Isaac's own account of how long he's been building karts and why he drew these plans. Two short paragraphs, in his words.

Nothing in this space is written yet. It stays empty rather than invented.

Kartworks is a placeholder name. Isaac hasn't told us what the business is called yet.

Photographs on this preview are borrowed public-domain images. Sources listed here.

Safety and legal wording: not written. Welding, engines, fuel and speed are involved. Every word of it must be reviewed by a qualified adult before this site goes anywhere near the public.

Placeholder drawing — an old public-domain plate, not Isaac's work. A real sample sheet is the most persuasive thing this site could show.

How buying works

This site takes no payment. You send an enquiry, Isaac replies, and he invoices you and emails the files himself.

No card details, ever, anywhere on this site.

Enquiries will go to Isaac's own email address. Where they go while we're still testing is a separate decision.
