I will partially agree with you, Whitey.  But, it just isn't like days 
gone by.
I do a lot of repair work and build things.  When I got back into making 
different
items, I was very disappointed at how difficult it is and/or expensive 
for what
used be common items, parts and supplies.  It causes some folks to choke
when I quote them a repair.  Sometimes I spend as much time locating the
materials as I do in the job itself any more.  Also, many folks did not 
grow up
doing wood working as part of normal household chores, learning from fathers
and uncles. That is a real shame. I have tried to pass the skills along 
to all
my kids, that range from nearing 50 and down to 6 years old, boys and girls.
And I cook and sew as well. ☺
