A good friend of mine runs an manufacturing business. He has over 100 employees. He says his biggest problem is finding people with the skills he needs in his business. HE says you get mechanical engineers that can not do anything other than generate a computer drawing. They do not have a clue if what they design will actually work or if it can be manufactured. Then his hardest employee to find is a person that can take a "new" design and actually assemble it completely in a good working order. His factory makes a lot of gear box style of things. So setting back lash and preloads are very important. His top men are getting in to their early seventies. They like their job and still want to work. HE has been looking for their replacements for over 4 years. He has tried to train current employee and just is not having much luck. He says he gets too many educated idiots. LOL Lots of fancy degrees with papers from various colleges about how smart they are but have trouble fill their water glass. ( His words not mine)
One of the things he says he can't hire done is his machine rebuilds and maintenance. They do most of it internally. He has a lot of mills and lathes that are HUGE manual machines. The newer CNC stuff takes too much setup time for his type of work where you maybe only making 2-10 of the parts. He has one fellow that scraped the ways on the machines when they rebuild them. That fellow comes in and does that when they need it done. He just turned eighty this year. His skill is dead with about anyone younger than 50-60.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
