On a brush Deal,guy sends me Computer generated Drawings of a travel brush he wants made (no question an Engineer of sorts)
His specs: Solid Black Buffalo Horn,22mm Grade A TGN knot, low loft at 44mm,handle is to be within +/- .001.
Ya right I tell him,will do my best,Got it within .003 Thou, he emails back and tells me since I did not follow his specs,he will not pay for the brush.People are funny:) I think it turned out nice.

Well, I'd mark the guy off the future customer list,,,,, That brush will sell fast anyway,,,,,, nice job,,,,
Great looking brush! Sorry about the stiffing!
you got the brush back, right?
Funny isn't the word I would have used. You are nicer than I am. And you are right, that is a nice brush!Quote:

He probably was' t planning on following through in the first place.
That is a "say what" moment for sure. It's a shave brush not an ICBM after all.

Very nice brush I'd be happy to have it in my collection. Engineers are a funny bunch, because the tolarances are so stringent they apply those tolarances to everything else. Not everything can be so precise.
I hope so also!Quote:

If it's a Member, they ought to be banned! That's shameful!!!!!!!!!
To use the slight differences within the tolerances as an excuse to not pay for the work is Inexcusable!!!
While I've lost a couple of razor from loaning, I've accepted the fact that things happen and have let it go; but to blatantly refuse to not pay for your time, materials and expertise should have consequences!
Maybe I'm way off base here, but that's the way I feel!
Water under the bridge,No biggie.Quote:

Well I'd bet the problems with the numbers wasn't .001 vs .003 ........ but the guy's SWMBO ......... said 'What ! Another brush!! ?' Or maybe he just ran short of $ ?
I feel for you as a similar thing happened to me when I used to make custom instrument cases, I'm sure you'll be able to sell it and not actually lose anything though.
Very nice brush. Did you get that close to specs with hand tools?
Was never shipped,no issues, no problems.not an SRP member.
All I do is with hand tools.Quote:

You know, in the watch sales game it's a well known fact the more the potential customer wants more details and pictures the less likely it is he will buy. The more technical they get, that's always a warning sign.
Impressive to get that close without cross slides and tool posts. It would only take a breadth to use too much pressure and go to far.
That's a shame Pixel...But look at it this way: At your age you probably don't get stiff that often. :D
**Oops...I mean 'stiffed'...

Beautiful brush definitely sounds like an excuse to change his mind
I feel for you Bill
I deal with these sorts most days
On a lot more expensive level
Was there any specific reason other than out of spec, which buy the way is a bit extreme to put it nicely for a hand made brush
Was it under or over size, was it meant to fit into a particular container or item with those exacting tolerances of 1 thou
Sounds like a disclaimer is required in your order form or something reminding some people this is a Handmade item not a mass produced CNC or molded item
He just backed out of the deal,for whatever reason makes no diff at this point,Brush has been sold.Quote:

I was angry for you, when i read that someone went through all the trouble to ask you to make them a
handmade brush and not want it. What a twat. I would have like to spend 20 seconds in the pit with him.
Anyway i,m happy that you sold it pix .Next year some time i will get you to make me one .
Did I miss something or Pixelfixed has been banned ? :eek:
Omg what an ass. He should send it back. You should have people pay up front before shippinf but offera money back within one week if they dont like it. But they must return the item.

I'm not going to take a stance on weather or not I agree with the moderators' decision but it's still a shame to see a member like Pixel get the boot.
Uh, looks like it.
You might say he is taking a few days off. Mods/admins give warnings as to behavior those warnings are expected to be heeded. If they are ignored there are consequences. :chapeauQuote:
