I'm an extra big fan of press brake operators that work part time in Dubuque, Iowa under a temporary hiring agency. I wish he would take pictures of his fellow employees. you forgot about his professional wordsmith abilities.

Wolfson, have you ever watched an episode of "The Woodwright's Shop"? Roy Underhill is a fine craftsman and does everything with antique tools. I have used a lot of techniques from his show to build things with modern powertools. No but I'll have to check him out !

Prost......... er I meant fine carpentry. Its more an art than a trade. I have no idea how they work so precise with a material ( real tree wood ) that changes its dimensions by the phases of the moon, humidity and is gust generally bent out of shape for no reason.

I'm partial to tool and die makers.
We can make and or fix anything but a glass eye or a broken heart.
FYI a few of us are getting close the the glass eye...

Yall ever seen a crop sprayer weaving and bobbing through sets of power lines and tall trees next to the field he is treating? It's hard for me not to admire those guys skill and the obvious grit down in their craw

I respect all workers! Every trade to me are like cogs on a gear. Even trades that produce things for leisure activity. Over 20 years as a Master auto truck tech, Utility tree work in a bucket truck 2 years, 16+ years in golf course industry and now operator of a large fence post mill, wood treating plant, landscape mulch operation. Worked with many skilled trades over the years. Such a joy to work with Tradesman that take pride in their work! The guys that take pride in their work, know their worth, cost more, and are always worth it!
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
