In light of recent events, Found here, and well, anywhere i have a thread i guess. Forum member Nubbins, very unprofessionally, and very immaturely has starting issuing warnings, and making scam accusations that i am not able to carve wood and that my art is "laser engraved"

Now, as if my own clients coming to my aid to put him in his place, to straighten things out, and to get the facts in play. He still insists that he has some basis for his childish antics and it appears is going to continue to whip a dead horse until the crows have picked its bones clean.

Normally, i feel i am above stooping to the level of the infantile forum trolls, Its what forced me to leave most of the woodworking forums. Until Nubbins came along, i though that Bitcoin was a community above that plague. Now i can see i am wrong, history would lead me to tell him to screw off, i would finish out the orders i already had, buy my last bits of wood i need to get through the year, and go back to business as usual. Making art for the bitcoin community was a passion and hobby of mine, not something i was doing to get rich from as any of my clients can tell you. I dont really need it, i just enjoyed it.

This time its different, i firmly believe that this community is better than what Nubbins and his band of misfits portrays this community as being and have decided to take action. Now, i could take a day, carve something crappy just to get it done and over with, and move on, it would be more than enough to prove i am who i say i am and do what i claim to do. But NOT THIS TIME. I am going to nail Nubbins to the wall, i am going to take a stand and do my part to rid this community of the plague that infects it like AIDS.


First, below you will start to find links to my videos over the next few days. I am going to start with a piece i am going to call "F#$k Nubbins". Yep, i'm going to for the first time in my life, sink to that level. Why? To deal with a child, you must play on their childish level. When the piece is done, i am going to auction it off to the highest bidder. It will be the first piece i do for the forum that is PUBLICLY documented in video form, and will have one hell of a story behind it. I am not going to do some rush job garbage just to pacify the herd, i am going to display in great documentation what the true mastery of my craft looks like. Over the coming days/weeks i will continue to ad more videos as i get the time to carve some more in between the works i currently have to get done for forum clients.

Like what your watching? Leave Nubbins some negative feedback for being unprofessional and being such a plague to this forum when he could have simply messaged me with his concerns and had them answered before he started his smear campaign. Its time we make an example out of someone as a community and show that we do not tolerate this kind of behavior.

----------- Start video links ----------------


I will have the first video posted in the next day or so hopefully, Get the popcorn and a notepad, you could learn a thing or two, for free !!



-------------End video links ---------------------

LOL, much worse  But i will for sure make an interrobang in the future when this nonsense is finished.

Me too , where are the fuck** popcorn  ?

As someone that provides a service, focus on the message instead of how that message is being sent. The focus isn't the individual, but you as a service provider. This is how it works in the world of business. Nubbins, however you or anyone else may subjectively and objectively feel conducted himself, is a voice of skepticism, and skepticism is never wrong in anything. The best way to tackle skepticism is in a calm, professional manner, with indisputable evidence. This speaks to who you are as a person as well as the integrity of your services.
Don't get me wrong, I am perfectly OK with my mechanic using very colorful language, but not everyone thinks the same way.
Just my two cents. I am going to venture a guess and say the reason nubbins opted to open up a thread is because he felt he had evidence that is hard to counter. This is why I personally thought a video would settle any skepticism, and that's why I suggested it as a solution. For the benefit of everyone, especially the community.

Oh yes, evidence, a few Photoshopped pictures in where he made failed attempts at drawing an outline around an art piece like he is a scientist and that it has anything to do with how its carved. That and a few claims or opinions without backing. I dont disagree with you on the most part Fish, but i still stand behind my decision that there is nothing that will satisfy him. its a witch hunt not a fact finding mission, and that's not out of context, he made that very clear.

Anyways, not much more need for discussion. I have to dig out the tripod, sharpen the tools (oh wait their new   so they are already sharp ), get the camera set up, and start plotting what i am going to do for this piece. Be back with videos in a day or so

Enjoy the show everyone

Idk dude. Nubbins brings up some good points in that post you referenced. What's wrong with skepticism anyway? If you're the real deal then why be so butt-hurt?

Nice pieces, though. Very cool.

Six times in this post, you make an appeal to "the community." You're part of the plague called socialism. I wonder if anyone on this forum realizes that it's always the scammers who cry community.

 
You're being too emotional here, and that's probably the first proof that you're an artist invested in their work.  But you cannot come down on anyone here for questioning and using the system that is in place.  It's not perfect, but it's what we have and it works.  The dialogue here is proof of that.
 
All of the points raised in the original thread are valid and I was astonished this was even an issue since I always assumed these where cut by a machine.  If I was you, and you really did this by hand, I would take that as a compliment.
