Todd has the ability as well as the NC machines and other machinery needed to machine just about anything in house. He typically makes all of his own prototypes and tooling molds, some of which you can see in their on-line photo galleries, website and Facebook.
However, White has been a key partner for many years and to my knowledge does the batch runs on the "production" crank arms. Post production custom finishes like anodizing and powdercoating is done locally on an as-requested basis.
