    Scientific glass blowers are unsung heroes IMO. So much of research would be severely slowed if not impossible if we didn't have these toolmakers. There's so much glass stuff that you can't automate and I'm not talking about custom contraptions spanning multiple fume hoods. Glass vacuum manifolds are the workhorses in so many (especially organametallic) research labs and all of those are done by hand AFAIK.
