Arnie,
 
My son is a machinist too.  He worked in job shops and had to make  stuff 
manually on what ever machine they had.  He works now for Babcock and  Wilcox 
(nuclear components) in their tooling department.  Still has to do a  lot 
of manual machine work, figure how to repair stuff, as well as make new  
fixtures, etc.  He is a good practical machinist but could still learn a  lot 
for the old ones long gone.
 
94 here and going to be hotter as the week goes on.
