Gary and Dean, I agree with you gent's whole heartedly. What skilled hands created in this country years ago will never be found here again for the most part. Yes there are a few craftsmen still creating wonderful work but I think we will never see the volume of day to day craftsmanship to occured back in the day.
Looking around and seeing the loss of manufacturing that made this country the world leader just plain scares me.
I think it was GM that coined the phrase "planned obsolesence" Car's built in the 30's to the 50's just lasted too long. I remember my mother bought a brand new 63 Chevy Impala and I remember thinking that this car was junk compared to a 50's era car.
