in case anyone missed it
    Its the "so cool" part, that never fails to crack me up.

   I am pretty cordial with most of the people I consider to be the best 
toolmakers on the planet right now. The most creative designs, the best 
workmanship. The hottest art tools of this period in history.  Lots of 
fields, lots of toolmakers. Some make a few, some eventually make 
hundreds. I got to meet a lot of the toolmakers in the generation just 
before me.
  Toolmakers. Its a rare breed.
   I have been there to welcome any number of toolmakers just coming 
out. I know talent when I see it. I find the young guys with heart and 
help them come inside, if I can.   Every year I meet a few.

     And there ain't a one of us that's cool!
     Hell, we're barely washed up enough to come inside at all!
Top toolmakers of the world, lucky if we ain't slopping hogs.  Some 
still do.
     Never was cool.
        yours Scott
