Welcome to the 1UP Forge!
I recycle broken down video game systems, controllers, and other peripherals. I give new life to these amazing gaming machines of the past making many creative and functional items from home decor to wearable jewelry. No working video games are harmed in my creations. All my items are carefully engineered and made to last. Most of my hard work is hidden inside the consoles, controllers, etc. making my items look simple and minimalist but that is the beauty of my work. I consider each piece to be a work of art and take pride in my unique craft. It’s a new medium that has vast applications in the modern era. I’m keeping these pieces out of landfills and curating small bits of video game history at the same time.
Thanks for looking!
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

4 out of 5 starsOnce again, the shipping was immaculate. Beautiful display piece. The back of the shadowbox however doesn't feel as secure as I'd like it to be. Makes me nervous that if I ever move this from its current spot on the shelf, the whole back could fall out.

Once again, please just send me a quick message first instead of going straight to feedback. I tried contacting Clutch but never received a response. This is an easy fix, just pull up the corner and re adjust the clips. Things can and will get jostled during shipping but no need to panic or get nervous. These boxes are professionally made and Ive been selling them with no issues for over 10 years. I wish you well and God Bless!

Clutch on Apr 1, 2024
4 out of 5 starsLet me preface by saying the packaging was immaculate ensuring no damage was done. I also don't know the amount of work that goes into making this. That being said, for $154 I'd really like the controllers to be in pristine condition. These controllers are dirty and the lamp shade is from Walmart, giving a cheap feel to it. Overall cool design but not too pleased with its quality and price point.

Thank you for your support. Please contact me directly if you have any issues. I am very reasonable and will work with you address any issue you may have. I do know the amount of work that goes into these creations and its a lot. This is not just a job or a hustle for me, its my lively hood and I craft my items with care, precision, and experience. That is a beautiful picture you posted, you can clearly see these are authentic OEM N64 controllers with a slight vintage gamer patina. The controllers were used and loved (you can just imagine the hours of joy this gaming unit gave to some kid back in the 90's) and now they've been repurposed and will live on. I'll gladly return your money if you return this awesome lamp to me for someone else to enjoy. God Bless!

5 out of 5 starsBeen hankering after Tony for a while now. Soooo happy to finally have him! And all expectations smashed out of the park.. he’s absolutely beautiful. Btw I don’t want to take it out of the packaging just yet - hence the rather unclear photo. I assure you it’s absolutely perfect!
