View thread Contact supporttoo late.. Boomers gonna boomThese videos are great. But before all the old timers start lecturing everyone on the good old days, these things were made in a time where materials were expensive and people were cheap. Now literally the opposite is true.
The craftsmanship isn’t totally gone, there are a ton of talented craftsman still out there, but fortunately for the consumer, their job has been engineered out. I’m glad I don’t have to pay a guy $100 an hour who has spent thousands of dollars on tools to swap out the barrel on my AR15. I can do it myself in my garage with about $100 of tools invested.
It's not gone... it's preserved by a new generation of craftspeople in everything from restoration shops to organizations like the Contemporary Longrifle Association.All of that craftsmanship, gone. Nowadays, it seems that "if it can't be done with an app, then it can't be done".
The mindset has been engineered out. With CNC tools there should be a minimal up charge for the top level. There’s little reason we don’t see far better quality for minimal price increase. Craftsmanship should benefit the customer with the technology we have. There’s no reason that we can’t buy a shouldered prefit for any action made. That’s the difference between good enough and a craftsman mindset making everything perfectThese videos are great.

Whose machines do you work on? Cnc grinder here.Back when I worked as a machinist I worked with quite the notable inspector . He said that good enough is a fall back position note a Modus Operendi . Tolerance is insurance , not a target .
Hell now I level and Tram in equipment to .00027 over twelve inches . Generally shoot for "0" because once you align the geometry on the column of a horizontal mill you start effing with your level on the bed casting/ways . A Ball Bar never lies .
Craftsmanship comes at a price. There are Industrial Engineers that make their living off of maximizing manufacturing efficiency to establish and define good enough.There’s no reason that we can’t buy a shouldered prefit for any action made.

That is nothing short of amazing
I agree. This is not an inherent trait but a taught one and requires great discipline. Unfortunately our current education system is the greatest obstacle in instilling these traits. We have become the disposable society when it comes to items we use every day. If it breaks (which they do in great frequency) they are tossed in the trash and a new one is purchased. This phenomenon was really took hold when production of many goods relocated in China. I have 30+ year old US made Porter Cable power tools that run better than anything I could buy today. There was a time when something broke you fixed it. Try to repair a refrigerator or a washer/dryer today. If you can find somebody and the parts to fix it you most likely figure out its cheaper to replace it. I will say the today's automobiles are the exception.I have noticed there are a lot of capable young hands, but attention to detail and pride in there work is non existent.

When the control board for the washer is 400 and a new washer is 600 you really have to think is it worth putting a new board in an old machine.There was a time when something broke you fixed it.
