[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 698593, member: 20646"] It doesn't seem too strange to me either..... though i'd have been a little miffed at first.... As mentioned, most guys work with what they know and are unwilling to work outside of it. I think, if it's ethically motivated, it's an admirable quality. If the 'smith is most interested in taking good care of his/her customer they want to ensure the very best for them. If they're honest and just don't know how to work with a certain material or use, to them, an "unproven" reamer, etc be thankful they didn't just take your money and subsequently ruin a heap of awesome materials. For me, and to be completely honest, i'd hope the 'smith i choose would be skilled in using whatever materials i brought - presuming i didn't bring something hugely unproven/inappropriate for the task i was looking for. I'm not saying Devcon is an example of this, just that i'd pprefer to partner with a 'long-in-the-tooth' 'smith who could evaluate what i was thinking and determine if 1) it would work well and 2) was the very best option and 3) compare my suggestion with what they normally used. I think most master craftsmen have come to an understanding what works "best" for them and outside that, they're hesitant to "lower" their standards by using material "less" than their idea of what's "best".
