Thanks for the response, Slothfurnace.  I sent you one final thought via pm.  Hope you're having a great day.

Heya Sloth,

I'm sure this has been asked, but would you consider doing a small limited run of these? I'm sure there's interest!

I asked him and he said not at this time.

What a work of art.  Once again, you push the boundaries of the hobby.

Got any photos at a setting of 511?

I am not saying never.  I am saying "I" couldn't pull off a run by myself.  Perhaps if I were to work with one of the more established shops that were more familiar with runs, and had better equipment, yeah, I could see that.

But you guys have to know, I have around a 1/4 of a 2 car garage to work in, and manual hand crank machines to work on.  And one or two hours one or two days a week and some weekends to work.  I am just not equipped to do any kind of run.

These sabers I do are one of a kind works of art, I don't say that to praise myself or the work, I say that because I don't know if I can reproduce them.  They're as good as I can make them, but I know they can be made better/faster/in greater quantities if I had the equipment.  I am very limited by my tools at this point.

As such, I heavily hesitate doing commission work or runs, as you might imagine.

I am humbled by and greatly appreciate the interest, and it pains me to not fulfill a demand, but I just don't know how I'd do it.

I'm sure there's many a smith that would be comping at the bit to go half-sies on a run with you Sloth. It would be full of Win.  :)

I totally understand. I'm sure if you ever decided to sell one, they would be gone in an instant! Your Obi ANH is the finest I've seen. I love GG's as well, but yours have a a distinctive blued, weathered look like no others I have seen. If one of yours need's a home, PM me, Lol!

Alright everyone back away from the shy sloth in the corner of the workshop/garage  ;)

You know sometimes I think it must be better to be an artist who is not appreciated
in their lifetime lol - not really.

Might have been different for Vincent if things went this way though:

Person 1: "Hey Van Gogh.... lemme buy that painting"
Person 2: "No, I want to buy his painting"
Person 3: "No, clearly I will be buying it..."
Van Gogh: "My friends, please don't argue, I will be here for a long time and there will be plenty of paintings to go around..."

Fantastic work as always, Sloth! Your realism level is fantastic! These seem real weapons... Elegant weapons, for a more civilized age...

Yes, Wat is amazing, maybe I'll toss him a note.

In the meantime, thank you all.  I will update with a video once I am done with it.

It could be dangerous, as the part of my brain that makes sensible decisions about money might not work......then again most things about this forum effect that part of my brain :)
