I was wandering today as I often do, when did the term cabinetmaker get so turned around. I consider myself a cabinetmaker so when people assume that I just make kitchen cabinets it hurts my feelings.
Traditional apprenticeships don't really exist anymore but I still try and follow them and I consider myself a journeyman cabinetmaker.
Today everybody wants instant gratification. Maybe that's one of the problems. Things are made easier therefore presumably better.
Certainly life is easier today than 100 years ago. The real question is does making life easier always make it better?
