> I suspect we will see more of this craft production of nice things at costs a large multiple of the cheapest mass-produced items. A nice thought. Experience tells me it will remain remarkably difficult to find skilled craftspeople. Businesses such as this, although frequently making things I want to buy, seem exceptionally vulnerable to recessions, so there's regular attrition. Even now will often have little idea of this new-fangled internet thing - presumably too busy at the lathe or forge! I wish there were easier ways of finding these folks. Google is no help most of the time.
