For many years, American production has slipped into outsourcing its jobs overseas, both to save a quick buck and to provide products for increasing numbers of people. However, this came at a steep cost—not only for the domestic economy but for America’s quality of life on the whole. American industries are founded on two main pillars: innovation and craftsmanship. Here, “good enough” just doesn’t make the cut: we reject complacency and dare to move forward, while at the same time staying grounded in the wisdom of our forebears. Look around, and you’ll find innumerable artisans and craftsmen who retained the American work ethic.
