Greetings from the sickbay
Hey everybody and Happy 2023! As many of you know, I've been away from the workshop for this entire month. And that's because I started this new year by breaking my arm. I slipped on icy street and broke my right arm from two different locations. It required a surgery, there's a fair sized chunk of metal holding the bones together, and no, as far as I know, it's not Adamantium. I am hopefully getting the cast off Monday the Feb 6th, but quite frankly I also can't imagine doing actual workshop duties with hand for couple more weeks after that. So, no lathe or mill projects advancing for a while. And this latest hand calamity leads me into more serious announcement: Ox Works is not going to accept custom orders anymore. It sounds crazy, and the decision wasn't easy for me either. Because I like making custom machined metal hilts, and they're hands down the best selling items from my 'shop too. But the reasons for halting that business started to weight in...
