Mike, that is excellent. If we had that here I'd be on it in a flash.

Edit: Although I'm not qualified in manufacturing or anything high tech. In the same vain, we need low tech training in this country as well. It's getting harder each year to find craftsperson's in the building trades. And that greatly affects the remodeling business, by many accounts, more difficult than building from scratch. Add in historical context and it's becoming nigh impossible to replicate original elements.

For example (and directed at look171 amongst others), consider a pedestal bath sink. Can you find a plumber that will do the supply lines in chrome over solid copper? Or do all the plumbers use SS braided lines that look like ass? I specify solid and bent (curved) symmetrically. I won't even go into a jerk that will use a plastic P-trap in this situation.

I can't even find a painter that can hand cut a perfect line between colors, say like wall to casing.
