hello everyone tonight
Apprenticing--hmmm-----lets see now--I had no formal apprenticing so to speak--but in my time I apprenticed by working and listening to my father, that is how it worked around here
Sometimes I think that that we all get hung up on gov't training, and think that it is the end of all things--we all know that hiring practices are usually --"so many years formal training" or "years of experience"--
It is surprising what can be accomplished by a group of good craftsmen led by one really qualified person on a large project, and the larger and more complicated the project, the more qualified the leading person has to be, until we need an architect to lead the group
in the case of the barn in the previous pic this structure was probably the results of one lead framer and many strong and somewhat knowledgeable carpenters--no formally trained individuals, in fact it probably would end up a better structure with this mixture of people
