Spent the day making 86 ranged weapons by hand. most with scopes and stocks...only crate parts I used where ABPH... Down fall to hand crafting weapons...Can't ever keep your weaponshop stocked. I might need to start crate making...

I've always made my weapons by hand =(. Well I havent crafted in awhile but i would usually go a week or so without crafting and then have 50-60 acklay bones in my shop that needed turning into weapons. I think I only crated 2 things in my time as a Weaponsmith those being my Low Ham Vibro Knucklers, because i knew they were only useful with a good damage slice and more convienant for my customers in crates and grenades, which would be stupid to do by hand.
I think hand made weapons just make the proffession more enjoyable *shrug* thats just me maybe :-/.

I take a lot of custom orders and do a lot of loot made all by hand, but WHY would anyone just craft non loot made by hand....

As a crafter I logged online for one reason, to craft. Factories for the most part may make things faster but then what would I do with my online time, especially when theirs nothing that, in my opinion is worth harvesting ( aka spending 6 hours looking for good spawns ). It's also a nice feeling knowing that each of your weapons is personally hand crafted.

Well I hand craft not loot weapons or non-enhanced really, because you can add visible changes. All my customers appreciate the fact that if they buy a scoped DL44 the scope shows! Also I vary the barrels, and vary the scopes....And the stocks on the different carbines just kickass. I noticed today that the E11 carb changes when it is stocked. It gets like folded mount added to the underside of the barrel, it makes it look meatier!

I always do my crafting by hand, because it's fun. As soon as WS'ing becomes a chore or a burden, drop it, that's not what the game is about.

I take pride in hand crafting loot made weapons. Be that acklay, gorax, krayt or whatever but I think for the sheer mass of stock i put on vendors to hand craft my non loot made would be a nightmare.
when i log on i get tell hell and a lot of special loot made requests to keep my crafter happy.

You can customize your weapon look by crating the components and taking it out of the crate prior to crafting it so it will show. But hand crafting everything including components is a bad idea as you will spend a lot of time without the "best" you can possible make that a schematic run can do.
Nah all my weapons are the "best" i can make. If i get a crappy experimentation point i throw the weapon away at the end if it makes a differance ( sometimes the weapon will come out the same even with one-two bad points , sometimes speed will be slower or les damage ). If the differance shows i junk it.....damn must have lost atleast 30 acklay bones that way ^_^.
