I think new money appreciates good craftsmanship - if they earned their money by making quality things.

People who both take pride in their work AND build something for a living appreciate craftsmanship in whatever form it appears.

I on the other hand appreciate something I've built, even if it sucks but is usable, to the finest thing someone else built.

I learned carpentry from my father and got my first year electrical
apprenciship papers. I was taught furniture and cabinet making from a
neighbour as a teenager. Mr. Kytaychuk was a great craftsman. There's
no way I could do it professionally, but its good stuff to know.

In this area, especially around Potomac Maryland and Great Falls
Virginia, they would pay double premium rates for your grandfather and
father. However given my experiences with some of the noveaux riche in
this area, would they really want to bother. At least old money
appreciates good craftsmanship.
