Just got stiffed:(
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.

Funny isn't the word I would have used. You are nicer than I am. And you are right, that is a nice brush!

Sounds to me he simply changed his mind and didn't have the integrity to just say so.

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.
