    TECSHARE has it right, this thread sucks. I also think several of you do not understand what a trust system is and how it works.

    Go back and read this post right here, where I first stumbled across the guy's work. I complimented it, as I did at the start of this thread.

    I then expressed confusion about his pricing structure, to which he replied right here that he actually charges $3k/hr, but $18/hr is the special price for us. Imagine a $3k/hour artisan saying "fuck it, I'll do it for $18/hour, and just try a LOT LESS HARD".

    This was obviously taking the piss (Special price on a hand-tailored suit, sir? Just for you...). Obviously. If anyone reading this believes that a man whose time is worth THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS AN HOUR is going to pick up a chisel for $18/hr, stop reading RIGHT NOW and kill yourself.

    At this point, I suspected that if the guy was going to be so blatantly full of shit about how much money he makes, he's probably bullshitting about how much his wood costs, how long his pieces take to make, everything. A cursory examination of the circumstantial evidence (loans for tools, brand-new account but familiar with BFL, making drug paraphernalia on his lathe, etc) combined with the fact that his designs REALLY ARE ACTUALLY QUITE NICE (seriously) but the shapes he cuts out are ACTUALLY EMBARRASSINGLY POOR  (for a "master artisan"), lead me to the most obvious conclusion: that he's in fact a mediocre woodworker and a decent graphic designer, pretending that his laser-cut designs (literally the exact same as pressing "print" in photoshop) are somehow hand-carved.

    Any master craftsman would have a portfolio of high-end work to show potential clients. Any craftsman who has been working for more than a few years is a fucking idiot if they don't have a portfolio of their high-end work, including process pictures. My threads are littered with them. But the best this guy can produce is this:

    I very much do have a portfolio of several high end works, and no amount of your idiocy is going to get me to devalue the works from my gallery by publicly admitting i do pieces for a tenth of the cost for bitcoin users.

    Instead,

    Not only does the forum members who are truly concerned get their video proof, i am going to turn you into an example of what happens when people try to plague this forum with harsh, unfounded claims to tarnish peoples reputation over a witch hunt with nothing more than speculation backing it up. Even the people who have commissioned my art have told you that your wrong in the worst kind of way and you still want to carry on. Your not here to protect anyone, you have made it clear your on a smear campaign. So its time i do some marketing, and campaiging of my own because i FIRMLY believe that this community is better than you.

    ROFLMFAO - The bullshit faggot dictators (A.K.A The Mods) banned this account. May you all rot in cryptocurrency hell.
