Why does anyone want to learn this old stuff?
Was it really cool to be a machinist?
I would not choose this for a hobby. |
I myself am returning to school to receive my engineering degree in electronics and computers with an emphasis in mechanical engineering if money allows. I would like to be able to make my own gears, etc for robotics and not have to rely on someone to provide it to me. I am currently equipping my home with solar panels and wind generators to be self sufficient with power.
I find this very interesting and don't see why you find it such a hardship. If you don't like it find something else to do. Unless you have to ambition as it seems by your quote. I may be wrong but I doubt it.
