Hopefully my "sit behind a desk" comment was not seen as a bad thing. My day job is basically behind a desk doing technical consulting, my strop business is hands on making things. I should have more correctly said it seems like the young guys I meet (and hire) today have no interest in making anything physical. They want a job where they are at a computer all day using only their minds. It is still creating, it is still hard work but I still stand by the hands on creating something physical with the hands is fading.

Hey, I've always had a business making something since I was 20 and have always tried to excell at it. In most cases I took a lost art and set the bar for others on what is expected. But, like most today I still prefer the security of the corporate world to care for my family instead of the variances of total self employment. While the razor/shaving movement is growing today, that growth could be gone tomorrow and a new fad will happen.

There will always be a few wanting a job producing somehting long ago lost, a grinder for Dovo, etc.... but they are few and far between.
