| 215841 | 10983 | Have boards got even more expensive in the past couple months? | 63 | endoftheroad | Aug 5, 2021 | 2021-08-05T18:02:47-0400 | jory said: I think you are slightly overestimating the machine input in some of these cases. Many shapers just use the machine to rough out the board to their custom design then tweak it by hand. Using the machine to remove the donkey work as it were. Just like ghost shapers or hobies shaping jigs did back in the 60's. The magic of the artisan is in the vision and the design and the hand finish tweaks/ attention to detail. Plenty of artisans handmake products using machine tools to help them including a shaper wielding a skil by hand. If 90% of the shape is shaper hand wielded or shaper computer wielded machine cut and the finishing 10% is shaper magic hand cut is there really a difference? Is your artisan bespoke table only an artisan table if it was cut using hand saws? Click to expand... I'd just like to know what it is.. - what sort of level of rough out would be of more than casual interest. I have cncd boards and will own more. I want to know what I'm buying. …and for intangible reasons will a little pay more for a master handshape.. I'm not saying this is rational, but lots of good stuff isn't |
