I have myself over the years made several thousands of these items however not all in great quantity at one time, for after the first hundred or so the task becomes so mundane that one could start making footprints over the workshop ceiling.
When commissioned to make the Vindolanda and Trimontium chamfrons there were indeed numbers in four figures required, therefore to do the job it was better to make a handfull use them up and go do another type of job before insanity took over.
With the experience of having done this kind of work I can very well understand the way some of the Roman slaves in Fabrica must have felt poor devils.
