As you know, The Guild of Bricksmiths, (URL) a big user of LDraw compatible tools, since Guild members are producing instructions for almost all of their kits. From time to time a Guildsman runs into a part he or she would really like to use in a (...) (24 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev) !

(...) A question, if I may -- how should we be referring to the female members of your guild? Do you call them Guildswomen, Guildspersons, or Guildsmen? --Todd (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) I prefer Guildsman. But you'll have to ask Julie, she's our token member of the fair(1) sex at current. Interesting place for a follow up to go, I must say. I guess paying for parts designers to take our wishes into account is market related (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) Oops, I'm responding in public. Oh, well. I think my comments are fodder for the public, anyway. Jonathan Knudsen has already shown that it's possible to get parts drawn on request. I know he got at least three respondents, probably more. And (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

As you know, I tend to see *everything* in terms of paying for it, or at least motivation, at any rate. I think John raises some good points and I don't have answers, but I do have some musings. (...) You made those parts for your own reasons, which (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

The reason why I haven't responded to this thread earlier was the complicated language that kept me from fully understanding what the point is. What I now understand about the guild is: * You are fueled by frustration over the juniorisation of (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) This might be the encouragement I need to dive further into parts development. However, I would need to have a copy of the part, and I doubt I would be able to work on anything too complicated right away (ex, no (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Just a thought.. I noticed that Jonathan B. Knudsen has released rendered instructions for some (all? not sure) of the robots from his book: (URL) Jonathan 'influenced' some decisions to make a few parts for his use in his book.
