I initially trained as a machinist in a shop
where actual "Machinists" worked.
The Apprentice Master had gone to work as an
apprentice himself when he was 14 years old
and was nearly 70 years old when I knew him.

Not a poster in sight.

OK, so I shouldn't do it, just because some
one-dimensional guy you knew didn't do it all
his long life?

Why are you telling me this, really?

Why shouldn't you do it? After all if you don't know the name of
things you need help.

But why one-dimensional? A guy who was well enough known in the trade
that people called him when they had problems?
