Like I said its an opinion. For the glove a template is always made "At least i make one" and that takes time effort allot of money, and building many gloves before its anything close to what you need. Allot of time goes into it As you say. (I spent 7 or 8 hours on the finger templates alone for my last glove). $250 for a myers mask ? I find that flat out sillyI don't want to go off topic but here is my side and this is extreme but a reality for this gloveIm not getting into the R&D of this glove but its not a simple as "ahh crap i took to much clay off with that stroke"1- 1.5 hours per blade1-2 hours for shaping the fingertip (only one at a time)2-3 hours cutting out mid fingers and shaping20 min for cutting shaping the back plate30 min for the cutting and aging of the leather glove45 min to solder on all finger straps20-30 min soldering on the blades20 min per finger tip for clean and sand2-3 days for aging process of the metal armature15 min for assemblyAdd it up and you have a lot of time. If you were to go by the industry standard 4 years ago at $65 an hour your looking at a nice pricetag <img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v172/stealthunter1/1115092248.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
