Perhaps,
There are several fellows here who can or could. Someday, you or someone else may take an interest at some point. A little encouragement beats sour grape discouragement.

I got a load of inspiration reading the very old Popular Mechanics books from the 1930s in my grandfathers attic. Back then there were loads of skilled people doing some very impressive projects. I learned there were plenty of things the person could make at home. Unique things that you can't buy in the store or perhaps could not afford. My grandfather was an old Red Lodge Montana Blacksmith, he taught plenty, he also taught that what you didn't know, others could help you figure out.

I sure hate to think of letting that spirit die, let alone see people stifle it.,

Even if I personally don't care to make something, I always enjoy learning how.
