It started right when the new Administration took over. Coincidence? I don’t think so?
On the other hand, how long does it make to make a sword?
Depends... since a word is sharper than the sword, on FR... about 30 seconds longer than it used to.
To make a real sword... also depends. I made about 30 swords for a college play about 40 years ago in just under a week. Would cut but they clanged good. Could hurt bad if they connected though.
