My peeps (present peeps, and future), I know it's exciting to think that Someone will say good things about something you're excited about (dare I say?), something that is special to you (dare I . ..?). And that "everyone" will want something that only a few people will have. I get excited about that; you know I do. I would be thrilled to have someone special say nice things about something I've worked so hard on.
however . . . . .. .
This is not what I've endeavored to create. The value here is in the thing you hold in your hand (or will be soon). It's in the beauty of the wood, and the energy that I focus on each particular mod. Some of you will know that I'll drop a line to ask whether you're left handed or right, or what your definition of "pink" or "red" is. Others will know that I'll think of you, and how it's going, long after the deal is done.
Having this thing "blow up" is an exciting thought; but not a rewarding consequence. Let's just all chill, and enjoy what we've got. As my dear uncle Jànos ("Jànos bacsi" to me) used to say (
didn't. didn't even speak English): A pig in the ciderhouse is one thing, a hawk speaking Mandarin Chinese another. (←
?)
I'm afraid it may well be a simple choice here; in that we can't have both. Personally, I can't see how I can devote the personal attention and skill (←full of himself) to each individual mod (which is what I think makes it special),
and run any kind of degree of production that would meet the demand created by too much chatter and hype. And, too, also, to boot, as well, add this → . . . .. . I'm not interested. That's not what I'm interested in doing.
So, this is the "business" decision that I'm making right now: I'm not going there . . . .. . I'm staying here. This is just about some guy who loves to make stuff doing what he loves to do. I don't want to raise prices because of demand. I don't want to turn people down. I just want to make mods, and hopefully bring some little joy into a few people's day. I do want reasonable pay for an honest day's work (and I'm still not there yet, and we'll get into that another day, when I'm confident I can't go any faster, and I break out the abacus); but I don't want "that" to interfere with this little thang that you all and me got goin' on here . .. ... . my dear peeps.
So everybody shut up! (except for Kogijiki, cause she's queen, and it's cute when she does the
)
