The older I get the more of this I see the trades slowly fading away. A good friend of mine looking at retirement restores old collectible aircraft as a business. Some of the work he does is amazing, shipped to him from all over the world because no one gets involved anymore. He works alone because he’s not able to hire even though he’s willing to teach the trade. My older boy was offered a chance at it and pretty decent pay. I really thought it would be good for him as he seems to really enjoy building bikes “café racers” although very happy that he’s back to college.
