As craftspeople, we like to think we’re above doing things just for money. Don’t get me wrong, we wouldn’t do what we do if we didn’t get paid. But the whole “taking pride in your workmanship” thing is always present in the mind of most people that work with their hands. I can only speak for myself, but I think the pride reasoning is emphasized more when I’m not making the money I should. When things are clicking along in a positive way on the economic highway, I still take pride in my work, but I’m not over-emphasizing it to make myself feel better about what I do.
