They had incredible skill.....and they new it. I stuck it out for a few years, but couldn't wait to get away from them and the trade. The trade is for the most part dead in this country, and the reason why.....read my first post.
Now the world goes to China, their T&D trade is thriving and their prices are very good. I have been buying tooling in China since 2001.
