135 forum posts 2 photos	Mr Linton wedlock. what a remakably wide-ranging article on craft engineering. You have given this a lot of thought over a long time. I am surprised that no-one has commented, so far. You are echoing many of my thoughts over the years. I never found any way to change the world, unfortunately. Many of the young people I have met do not really know which end of a screwdriver is which. I totally agree that we should keep things as simple as possible. However, we are in an electronic, throw-away society and as such, many people have no idea we actually spend time on model (craft) engineering. It would be nice to spark up interest in other young people, how you do this to publicise our general interest in building "things" I would love to find out. I do not mean in a small scale, but preferably on a large scale. As far as I can see, you must unglue a lot of people from all their phones, screens, I pads etc. whatever may be the answer it has to be something fairly rapid ... at least, initially. loking forward to part 2 of the article ... martin
