The more we like to touch an object, the longer it can be found in our
household. Nowadays, these wooden objects often are replaced by plastic
resulting in a limited lifespan as a standard. How delightful it is when
an old chisel finds its way into your hands at a garage sale, its handle
polished by touch and its frayed end telling of heavy use. That is
exactly the feeling this book wants to convey - to recall and revive
forgotten utensils!
