A promise is a promise

[tatou]

An amazing standard of workmanship.
It could only ever be done as a labour of love, you'd never be able to make a commercial business out of it, the time and effort involved, if charged at a commercial rate, would just make it impossible to sell.

Really impressed.

Indeed, i only do this for friends. I enjoy doing this but if i count the hours i put into it, it would be outrageous.
This little repair took me 6 - 8 hours total (who's counting) and i had scraps of wood already to the right size and i had a couple of short brass pins laying around... so i saved some time there.
Not saying i would never do it as a side gig but there's no way one could charge for the time and effort that comes with it.
