I have a fust full of blades I'm working on already (off the top of my head it's 6+). The work really doesn't bother me I enjoy it, it's relaxing. I've thought of making my own blades quite a few times but I still don't think I know enough to jump in or maybe I do an I'm holding myself back. Either way if I change the blade I'm out 30 something dollars.

Just because I change the toe doesn't mean that the blade wouldn't be pristine I'm a perfectionist at the things that I do ( maybe that's why I haven't tried making blades) more would end up in the trash because I would say they weren't good enough which would cost me more in the long run.
