Thank yourself. It's your good work and IMO very reasonable
price that's thank-worthy. The only reason I've not bought
one from you, besides being broke as hell at the moment, is
that you got my head going a couple years ago and I designed
my own. There's a load of large steel awaiting me in NJ as
I type.
The biggest departure in my design from yours, and this is
merely my idiot-retentive Rube Goldberg mind at play, is a
thermal choke to keep the heat in the face so the blade
doesn't cool quite as rapidly. I've conceived several
possibilities. Not sure which I may try, that is, if I
ever get around to actually building it.

This probably means you're a crummy businessman, but
a crummy businessman with a good heart.
