Mike,
I think you have summarized the situation perfectly. I stress again that we are just trying to define one word here, there are still other terms that can be used to cover situations that 'custom' may not cover.
Your suggestion of 'custom made' is a perfect example of one such term and should be added to our original list. Another term already on the list - 'Customized' - cover still more variations on that theme. Some would say we're splitting hairs here but I say that any profession (not just a job but a profession) has a specialized terminology. The professionals know their terminology in depth while other more casual parties with an ancillary interest in that profession will use the terminology to a lesser degree. All I would like to accomplish is to define the terminology. After that, the various makers will ,hopefully , use it according to their needs ...
