Most orders for handles come in groups of 50 or 30 or so.. its hard enough as it is, CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK
I wouldn't mind having to try 10 tiems [saw and attempt] to make an item, if i knew i would get a good amount of coin for it, but for handles.. i disagree
About as relevant as "beware of my puppy kicking skills! If you don't have the skill to kick a puppy swiftly, you'll miss and lose the opportunity to injure it!"
Ok think of it this way: You suck at sawing, so you push on the branch while your sawing and it splites into two peices because branches are greenwood and greenwood tends to be very stringy which is why it well, doesn't snap crisply like a dead and dry twig. The bonds between wood fibers in greenwood is very weak, which is why you dry wood to make it harder.
It is no problem to make smelting and cutting branches unfailable.
But, and here comes the problem, then some items, are unfailable in making to. Nails for example and simple handles as far as i know.
