Khodel Pattern Craft

We operate out of Plot No. L/564 in the GIDC Estate, where we focus on pattern craft. It’s a lot of detail-oriented work, which means the shop is often filled with scraps of wood or metal, depending on what we are making that day. The work is slow and requires a lot of patience. You can’t really rush a pattern or it won't come out right. We have a few old workbenches that have been around since we started, and they’ve got plenty of nicks and scratches to prove it. The air in the shop usually has some dust floating in it, even with the fans going. It’s just part of the job. We don't have a fancy showroom. Most of our clients are other industrial shops who need patterns for their own production. They bring us a drawing, and we figure out how to make it into a physical shape. It’s a bit like a puzzle sometimes. We keep our tools sharp and our heads down. The address is easy to find once you're in the L-block of the estate. It’s a small shop, and we like it that way because it’s easier to manage. We aren't looking to become some huge corporation. We just like making things with our hands and seeing the finished patterns lined up on the shelf. It’s simple, honest work that keeps us going day after day. Sometimes we stay late to finish a tricky piece that just isn't sitting right on the bench today.
