What We Make

LECW starts with your idea.

Some projects are gifts. Some are memorials. Some are for a business. Some are simply something you can't find anywhere else. LECW is being built for that kind of custom work.

What LECW Is About

Small shop. Personal projects.

Little Egypt Custom Works is rooted in Southern Illinois and built around the belief that custom work should feel personal — not like ordering another generic product off a shelf.

We listen first.

You don't have to know exactly what the finished piece should look like. Bring the idea and we'll work through it.

Your details make it yours.

Names, dates, photos, handwriting, logos and personal details are what turn a piece into your piece.

We keep it honest.

If a material, design or project isn't a good fit for the equipment, we'll tell you rather than promise something we can't deliver.

“Made here. Made personal. Made to mean something.”Little Egypt Custom Works

Why Little Egypt?

Little Egypt is home. LECW was created to bring custom work closer to home — with the personal attention that comes from a small shop.
