| 215838 | 10983 | Have boards got even more expensive in the past couple months? | 60 | jory | Aug 5, 2021 | 2021-08-05T17:42:08-0400 | endoftheroad said: They are not an inherently superior product, It is an emotional, it is a romantic and emotional thing- and I think they should be worth a little more than the same thing cncd.. The shapers that wanna machine their blanks before buffing should be up front and proud of it - there is a market for their product.. Click to expand... 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? |
