First I can think of is stone cutters. Some of the old bridge abutments around here are just admirable. I never really seen one in disrepair, sometimes most of the bank is gone but they still stand. Nowadays they just rip rap limestone chunks around the prefab walls. Name some others you can think of.

Guys that understand and can fix knotters on small square hay balers. That is some voodoo stuff practiced by witch doctors. May not be 5 good ones left alive in the entire world.

LOL that made me think of those old sock knitters. Can you imagine making socks from scratch? Those machines are very intricate. I cant imagine socks being not cost effective enough to make your own.

Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Net making comes to mind.


The devil's greatest trick isn't making us think he doesn't exist. It's flattering us. So we don't see..... the devil is us.

Bee lining to find a bee tree, then cutting it and collecting the honey. I went with my Grandfather and uncle back in the early 1960’s.

Good one. I haven't bought a nail in years. All screws for me. Less work than something nailed if you want to take it apart.
