One definition: A worker qualified to teach apprentices and carry on the craft independently.

I think this version of the definition implies that a living can be made off of the craft. To expound - design(s) unique enough to create demand and sustain a living if one chooses to take this route. Artist/Businessman (Master) vs. Hobby.

This is not to take away from the master cabinet maker who can create great plugs with incredible techniques, and loves to share knowledge. As a hobby this is great therapy and living a well rounded life to the fullest. But I think of guys like Pond and Gibbs who combined the art, love of the sport, business acumen and were not willing to sell-out to make a buck, as the masters.

Spoken from a guy who doesn't make plugs, had a couple of beers, and enjoys all the efforts of S-B.Com Plugmakers!
