Hey William

I never knew you grinded all blades by hand.  Why not get them machined?  Yeah it\'s a huge pain in the ass (trust me) but there\'s nothing worse than speding 45-60 min grinding each blade.  Just curiouse to see how another glove maker gets down.

well to be honest I\'ve though about it. But there\'s another glove maker that does most of his work by machine, and it\'s clean and fast. But it just feels \'wrong\' to me somehow. Making the gloves is an art form, (whether some can accept that or not) just like sculpting. Only you\'re sculpting with metal. To have machines do some of the work for me seems like it would defeat the purpose of why I make them to begin with. I make them by hand, cuz \'the burned guy\' would have made them by hand. He wouldn\'t have a machine cutting the templates or blades out for him, he\'d grind it.

But yeah, grinding blades does suck and takes quite a bit longer then people realize. Especially the part 1 and 2 blades since they\'re thin and curved.

uhm, I guess the shortest answer is. I like that they\'re 100% made by hand, hopefully other people/collectors will too. It\'s more time consuming, but I like the end product better. Especially since I\'ve been over and over every inch of it personally.
