Noel,

    Perhaps we are asking the wrong question, or focusing our  attention
    in the wrong direction.  Is there something outstanding about the
    design?  Is it "cutting edge" and original or merely derivative? We
    all use the labor of other craftsmen to some degree. I buy many
    findings ready-made. I do not fabricate tubing or wire. 

    Unfortunately most people who say they "design" but have  others
    fabricate the work do neither. They are merely claiming the
    creativity of others as their own. None of us are afraid of some
    honest competition, but I don't and won't compete with some
    10-year-old child in Taiwan. 

This is something worth fighting for.
