Beautiful. Dedication to building something that deserves to last forever.
What from this Android/disposable generation will make it to this level of respect in 100 years time, guesses on a postcard. I don't mean there is nothing that will make it. I ask it as a question to see what other members of the forum see as modern classics. Where is the exemplar of the future.
I will start with one company Theo Fennell. A London based jeweler that makes some whacky stuff with great detail and style. Not to a lot of peoples tastes but a great example of a dedication to unique creation.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Stunning: It is so rare today to find apprentices today even willing to learn from the "old-masters".
My thoughts go back to the De Haviland Mosquito that took 800+ sub-contracted woodworkers throughout the country, each making individual components that produced "The Wooden Wonder".
Is it comparable? In my way of looking at things, Yes.
Cheers
Barry

Especially considering the tools they had available to them.
