[QUOTE="Gord0, post: 1481324, member: 99696"] I am a machinist, a CNC programmer, and an engineer. I would never claim to be a gunsmith. Or to know how to machine anything better than most smiths. Not because I dont think my work is good, but because I may learn something from someone who has 15yrs less knowledge than I. I also have not one single piece of paper, except my business cards to say that I have any of these "certifications". But if you've seen a military vehicle, aircraft, or guided ordinance I have machined, programmed, and engineered product for them. Papers don't mean crap. I have been machining for over 20yrs, and am still learning. There are things I know about machining that a good smith would never have to know or use. Just as there are many things that a smith knows how to do that I don't. Someone that is a "craftsman" as JE said may want to learn some of those other aspects to possibly improve their workmanship. I could continue, but I've probably rambled enough. [/QUOTE]
