[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 616197, member: 10304"] Those were the days when Apprentices were taught by real tradesmen that were proud of their skills and respected, European countries seem better at retaining their trade skills than we are, Germany with their 'Journeymen', years away travelling using and developing their skills before returning and being welcomed into their local Guild. Always loved watching our local Smithy when I was a kid, ended up a chippy myself, but can still remember how to make a frame for double hung windows with counter weights or flat cut a roof for pitching, last window I did was in 2005. Fewer and fewer people who can restore old buildings using traditional techniques... sad :( [/QUOTE]
