I wonder why the younger folks are not interested? Maybe one cause is the elimination of shop class offerings in high school, how many of us started out there? The old apprentice programs for the trades had a purpose and many very fine craftsman came from this life work.

I know many people who have offered to youngsters the opportunity to learn about mechanics and machining. Example is My Son Owen, 15 years old and machining up his own "B" motor. He keeps me honest in the cars and racing.

There are many other excuses I am sure, for now I will do all I can.
What are you willing to do?
