Not true. Take a look at the Antique Radio Forums, http://
www.antiqueradios.com/forums/index.php. There are lots of beginners
there, many of them in their 30s, 20s, and even teens. There may not be
as many people interested as there are now, but it certainly isn't going
to die.


There will always be an interest in "old" stuff, everything from vintage
radios to black powder muzzle loaders to weaving cloth on a home made wood
loom.

And given the Internet, such is easier than ever.

Making your own wood screws (that is screws made of wood); not a problem to
find the tools to do it on the Internet.
