[TheForge] New dagger

Larry;

   Nice piece, exactly the kind of things I want to learn to do when I
get set up...after my business is "set up", so I can afford to do what
I want instead of what will sell.

   Sorry about the bone, customer ignorance can be the most
frustrating thing to deal with, almost have to be a D-3 pictorial
artist to get some people to  visualize what you are talking about.
Even then, some people can't grasp what something will look like until
it's in three dimensions in front of them.  This lack of ability as
far as I can tell is not something one can learn, those of us with it
just have to be patient with those who don't have it. There are many
things for which I have no talent, diplomacy for instance,  :o)
