Bob Jackson did them. Probably a but chaotic there at the moment.

If not a thing that is in existence can someone braze one on?
Yes. Or cut a thread into a 1” Ahead disc fork if that exists?
I reckon the path of least resistance would be: choose disc fork that has wrong steerer but is otherwise awesome. Get framebuilder to put threaded 1” steerer on. Repaint.
Whatever you do is gonna cost money. What’s the frame that takes 1” that absolutely must have a disc brake?

Ahh okay. If I’m honest this is just for my daily commuter, am leaning towards slinging a break on it as it’s wet at the moment and was seeing if disc would have been an easy upgrade.
After what you’ve said I will likely just chuck a rim brake on or maybe someone like Varohna could braze one on?

Just put a rim brake on, disc seems like overkill.

Definitely complete overkill.
But think it will look cool/interesting enough to put a bit of research into seeing if it’s possible!

Orlowski did some.

You could just buy 1 inch unthreaded fork and change headset.
Then either 1 inch ahead (harder to find) or spacer and standard 1 1/8. -

Found these when I had a similar idea, but decided to go in a different direction. No idea what the quality is like, but they would fit the bill.

Sorry for the minor dredge, but did you get any further with this? I’m currently trying to find what my options are for putting a disc fork on a 26er with 1” steerer. I’ve seen the forks above but they’re 1 1/8” only as far as I can tell.

You’d just need an inverse shim.

I guess you want rigid? found these...

That.... is exactly what I'm after. Thankyou!
Not surprised I couldn't find it, though - 1" is a pretty frustrating thing to search for!
Looking for potentially the above
