| 215829 | 10983 | Have boards got even more expensive in the past couple months? | 55 | endoftheroad | Aug 5, 2021 | 2021-08-05T17:13:18-0400 | Despite the fact the CNC handbuffed board from a given mastershaper may be his finest product, I’d prefer the handshape , and pay more. I want to pay an artisan, not a premium for a programmed rendition. I place more value on tool skills than computers. Computers and machines are making many humans redundant- it may be inevitable, but I’ll fight it here and there.. I will stand in a checkout line rather than walk straight to a empty cashierless checkout.. I place a cnc board above a thunderbolt, above a cobra factory popout…. A world of grey between the black and white… There are a lot of examples where a traditionally handcrafted product is now available quality machine produced… In my line of work, timberframes for homes are available completely CNCd. There is a market for these, prices are comparable to hand built, but most of the market will still buy the product that artisans sweated and bled over- purely for esoteric reasons- Luke custom handbuilt boards ! |
