I have found that when MASTER is applied to a crafts person it has the most significant meaning when the customer/end-user applies it. Many apprenticeships today have a narrower focus because of the changing technology. While I am most appreciative of master chefs the term can be applied to many trades including mechanics, jewelers, electricians, plumbers, masons, hairdressers, and gunsmiths to name a few. As the number of masters is reduced the value of there skills will increase.
