Oddjob - Berkeley California
Oddjob is owned and operated by Paul Stoll. Paul began his vocation story as a custom leather producer for a high end leather company in San Francisco. They taught him how to sew, cut, rivet, snap and dye complex functional products. This leatherwork was also alongside working as a professional piercer. He went full time piercing and ended up buying the company. In the fall of 2015, Paul's piercing business was desperate for some well made gold jewelry with few dependable vendors out there. After some time back in jewelry school, Paul started a wholesale gold body jewelry business. The new challenges kept things exciting and it grew quickly.
From the connections made in piercing and his reputation for fine detailed jewelry, different sorts of custom jobs began to be proposed. New jobs that required lasers! Down the rabbit hole of settings to perfect leather etching, the job was ready! With more orders coming, things really began to heat up. But there was one problem. Custom leather etched parts and patches didn't really fit in his Jewelry business, or in his piercing business. It wasn't much of a stretch to find a new place for these newly requested "odd jobs".
