5. They look cool as hell  |
My dear, dear friend, those may have been the kindest words I've ever heard. I worked very hard to make sure they looked as good as they were. You wait 'til you pick one up, they're heavy; I can stand on one and it holds me securely. To make that utility look good was a heck of a lot of work, and I desperately wanted them to look as good as they worked.
I have to admit however, that after the mechanical design was done (which I do think is pretty cool, but wasn't too hard) the difficult job of making it look good really boiled down to ... well, pleasing Ivy. If it didn't please Ivy, I went back to the drawing board; and each time I did, I just basically worked on Ivy's gripe. So she, and in various other but similar ways, the whole team here, contributed very strongly to making it possible.
Anyway, thanks, I love the look of them, too.
