most of the folks where I work are either high end hi-tech or H1Bs. the
1st group probably have never seen a push broom and the second group for
whatever reason seem to be amazed at anything that I make from from wood.

i have several old broom handles out in the shed and can remember using
them since i was in high school but a lot of "younger folks" probably
have never used one.

I think the a lot of the amazement may be more from the perspective that
it could be done outside of a factory by a person they know.

Odd, considering that push broom handles were wood screw ends into wood threads
until just recently.
