Machinist and Tool & Die Maker have been dieing trades for several years now. I had 40yrs. in the Tool & Die trade before being riffed during the Obama years, never able to find employment after that. I had a side business selling machinist tool, that too has shown a decline, not as many with home shops as there used to be. The tool business over the years paid for lots of guns and hunting trips, from time to time I help retired guys sell their tools. The interest is nowhere like it used to be.
