IF it meant ...safely should I pay more to the fast guy, or the guy who takes a while? Yes. If the guy that takes awhile does a good job of it when the fast guy doesn't. Does pizza cost more if it's here in 31 minutes or MORE? Yes. And I frequently do pay more and wait a bit longer .... It's FAR better I don't yet sew leather by machine, since I have no space for a big sewing machine. - Bill While it seems to be inadvertent and incidental, you have managed to make my main point You compare the finished product - "safely", "good job" or "doesn't", and "FAR better" - and determine price paid based on the quality of what you're getting. Which is exactly what I do. I will pay more for something that is "FAR better", but not for something that is the SAME , but TOOK LONGER. Or because it came with a wonderful story about how the maker works nine jobs, uphill both ways .... http://www.jlsleather.com/hand-made-well-made/ Edited March 15, 2018 by JLSleather link Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are well made mass-produced items as well as hand made items. On the flip side, there are also very poor quality mass-produced and hand made items. When I buy something I don't particularly care how it was made or how long it took to make, as long as the quality is acceptable and it meets my expectations!
