Modern workplaces and machines are not for craftsmen. They are for operators who get a big start and a big stop button. Design and checking is outside the machine. The idea is that the process designer and supervisor hands the operator blanks and gets parts. This is not what the hobbyist needs but is where the industry is headed ( or at). It's a shame but true that numbers have replaced craftsmanship. Count the number of apprentices you find. I like the feel of turning a crank and watching the chips but I can't get paid for it.
