Fine Custom Bootfitting.

You can click away and buy what you want, but eventually you'll need to see the bootfitter.

By the time most skiers/snowboarders are into their third or fourth pair of boots, they usually know exactly what they need and tend to skip the drama/sideshow/↑ prices in the retail store.

That's where the craftsmanship comes into play.

Heat moldable liners will continue to do away with the need for a boot fitter for all but the most fucked up feet.

Awesome craftsmanship. Custom, durable, quality.

So much I want to order, but waiting on inspiration for that perfect first garment...although their lunckbags look awesome too.

If I got another motorbike, I know exactly what I would order.

So many more cool custom things that they post on Instagram, that isn't on the website.

They neeed to perfect heat molded shells cuz liners are pretty damn good but boot shells still need punches

I thought this but my Head Vector Evos seem like they were built for my foot. Snug but no pressure points or hotspots. It's really pretty amazing.

High end music instruments. Especially stringed like guitars, violins, violas, cellos etc.

The title of the thread is Crafts That Shall Survive (they will), not Crafts That You Can Make a Decent Living From (you can't). Labor of love--like professional skiing, guiding, patrolling, etc.

I know people who are killing it making artisanal soap. They have goats.

Glass-blowing, for now anyway; I don't think that 3-D printers have been turning out borosilicate glass yet.

Some glass-blowers at the top of their game and the market are pulling down insane prices for dab rigs.
1k, 10k, 25k, 50k 100k, how much do want to spend?

This piece, done by two big guns, had to run well north of 50k: https://www.instagram.com/p/BP6j8lID...ken-by=eusheen

Strad's best business move was marrying a rich wife. Hasn't gotten any easier. Automation (CNC), scarcity of raw materials, eastern competition all changing the high end market; without the decline from the aging boomers.

Person to person salesmanship. That's a craft that will survive.
