Just realized how much slower pattern making used to be

Back then, carving wooden patterns by hand could take weeks for a tricky piece. These days, CNC machines do it in a day or two. I kind of miss the old handwork, but not the long waits for projects to finish. It made planning a big job feel like a marathon, not a sprint.

Wait WHAT, carving by hand took WEEKS? That's wild. My brain can't even process being that patient.

Nah, the speed is better for the craft. Lets you fix mistakes fast and actually play with more ideas instead of getting stuck on one piece for ages.
