I am not so salt as ...really most of the list, but there are some of us
youngers (I'm 43) who, watching by the wayside, have firsthand witnessed
the death of handwritten language and thus its spoken form (attn
millennials: if you never use an apostrophe again in your life you will be
correct somewhere between 80-90% of the time). My grandfather didn't care
much for craftsmanship save that it was affordable and didn't look like
total crap, and my dad thus had no compass with which to direct me. But I
still found a way and my daughter will have a rough direction to gaze when
she is of an age to appreciate the doings of things. I'll see to it. She's
two now.

I have a suggestion. At many a M-WTCA meeting, I have overheard the greys
(my parents) complaining about the millennials (my children) in ways I
don't recall hearing when I was younger. Usually this is over the free
donut at certain tables only and not when a sale is at stake. They even had
the gall to do so in the physical presence of my younger wife who is a
member of that generation (she no longer frequents auxiliary events).
Instead of complaining, I would like to suggest to them to throw off their
stodgy demeanor and embrace the passage of the torch. The Millennials are
what we have to work with to keep the flame burning brightly and
withholding the details because of possible hipster mentality and dress
only serves to hasten the demise of crafts and the implements of creation.
Check ebay (and etsy!) for lamps made of Millers Falls planes for a
facepalm-worthy adventure. Heart in right place, brain in left field. I
think it can be corrected, though there is no saving that plane.

Thankfully this attitude toward younger would-be craftspeople is nearly
entirely absent from the Porch and that I only see it when in smacking
distance from mean ol' grandmas. I absolutely believe that the Porch is
worth mentioning, profusely, in those places that the younger and less
literate persons may frequent. We can teach them to read!

I haven't any clue how to go about posting YouTube videos but the idea has
crossed my mind many times.
