   I read it a couple times in the book store. Somehow I bet the characters he describes were real life people. The tri square builder and his dog. The counter revolutionist and the crow bar. The convict drywaller. The alcoholic drug addicted framing crew.

   I just came across this book a week ago
   and couldn't put it down until I
   finished it. A real nice anthology of
   one craftsperson's love of his trade and
   tools and how he came by both. Anyone
   else ever read

   I have this book. I have read it several times--quite entertaining. Indeed, it is something of a love affair of the craftsman and the craft.

   However, some of the book is quite outlandish. I think it preposterous, for example, to spend the time to resharpen all my little utility knife blades as suggested in the book. Incidently, I used to do this, but it is a monumental waste of time and sometimes real flesh.

   That I have kept this book in my library says much about the book.
