It would be rare, he reflected if he never had to ask a customer for clarification about something, and if he didn't then he probably wouldn't make what it was that the customer wanted.

Which parts you will strike with, which parts you might use to block or to pry with and so forth." He paused contemplating. "If you are at all unsure then I can make up a rough version and we can discuss it with it in our hands."
