Read the huckster definition. It goes like this, summarized as i interpret it:
* we've become detached from craft
* i do a lot of craft, I can teach you how to do craft
* here's a picture of my students having a good time at my classes in the UK
* tools are bad, because of industrialization
* we need to get back to craft, it'll make us more fulfilled. People that don't do what I do seem to be less fulfilled (these seem to be straw people. I wouldn't trade what I do to work wood in a million years, I don't work with my hands).
* it's a shame this nice stuff at the castle is tied to wealth
* here's a few blog entries in a row showing my classes in the US, I can teach you how to do craft

Seems simple enough. Rail against the lack of fulfillment, offer solution, attach it to presentation of classes and other purchased items.

That's huckstering. Lots of people do it, like I said below, it's not bad on its own. It is the objection to industrialization and productivity at the expense of craft while reaping a better life due to the increased disposable income from industrialization.

It happens all over the woodworking world, including one-off furniture makers. "here...looky...industrially produced furniture is ruining everything. I will make you a piece of furniture in the traditional way, and you'll pay me for something the middle and upper middle classes never would've been able to afford if we all did traditional woodwork".

Same thing. Huckstering.

Works on the positive side, too. "Here, you have problems sharpening your tools with vintage stones. Here are newer easier to use stones and a power grinder. Now go sharpen quickly and well and do woodwork. "
