Excellent post gentlemen
I agree 1000 percent. The learning curve is much shorter and the airgraver especally the PC make the job much easier and as Jim Small said fun to boot, Jim send one in to Steve for the upgrade his turaround is fast.
Our friends in the old world are slow to make change and that is OK as far as I am concerned, I like the apprenticeship programs some Country's still embrace.
However they will have to upgrade to the air driven tools sooner or later, as well as keep the old ways alive. Just the way the world works, time is money
