Having a hood made by a local metal shop --did you do this?

I am looking into having a range hood made by a local metal fabricator. If anyone reading has done this I would love to hear your experience, guidance, and were you happy with the result?

I would use a motor and liner insert from a major company like Prestige or Broan.

The local place seemed like a good potential alternative because I want a simple dome shape with a vintage looking darkened steel finish. I've made my own scale drawings and I know what I want from a design perspective as well as some of the specs such as TIG welding. My backup plan if it doesn't look like it would work out with the local place I would probably go to Modernaire.

Would appreciate all thoughts, cautions, advice.
