Its a bit hard to describe, and I wish I had enough words to send too you how it felt back in that time and place.
The feeling and the brotherhood and being accepted by the shop as a master of your craft.

All of the empty shops in the US are the end result of the war on labor dating back to the 1980s
Every politician talks about rebuilding manufacturing in the US
How.
Maybe a bunch of us of us old farts are going to come out of retirement and mill some ****?
