They are starting to make money now. We'll see the results.
I disagree with the notion that handcrafts were lost under the boomers. I'd argue that starting in the 1960s and 1970s there was a broad resurgence of interest in handcraft of all types in the US. Wooden boat building (look at the date WB started publishing), lutherie (prior to the 1960s highend guitars ended with Martin), hand spinning, cane furniture, pottery, printmaking, among just a few. The problem, now, is those who often times wrote the book are aging or dead and the craft needs more younger participants.
