That just seems disrespectful of that crafter's time, in my humble opinion.

Anyway, enough about me. We're supposed to be arguing tooth and nail about the abolishment of parts!

yes, we get it you went out of your way to go and get the materials and then pay someone else to make a part you could have made for less yourself. you could have easily went to any city and bought the starter saw and a log and done the part yourself and had no problems with it, but instead you try to make it sound like the item was hard to get. you say you had to go looking for someone like it was a big deal when, in fact, you could have spent a few minutes and done it yourself.

your story has nothing to do with the need to remove parts. it has to do with someone not really wanting to make the item at all besides that finished product.
