It's an exploration of making, but it's also a permission slip of sorts from me to you. Permission to grab hold of the things you're interested in, that fascinate you, and to dive deeper into them to see where they lead you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough stories from forty-plus years of making and molding, building and break-ing, along with the lessons I learned along the way, this book is meant to be a toolbox of problem solving, complete with a shop's worth of notes on the tools, techniques, and materials that I use most often. Things like: \u003cb\u003eIn Every Tool There Is a Hammer\u003c\/b\u003e--don't wait until everything is perfect to begin a project, and if you don't have the exact right tool for a task, just use whatever's handy; \u003cb\u003eIncrease Your Loose Tolerance\u003c\/b\u003e--making is messy and filled with screwups, but that's okay, as creativity is a path with twists and turns and not a straight line to be found; \u003cb\u003eUse More Cooling Fluid\u003c\/b\u003e--it prolongs the life of blades and bits, and it prevents tool failure, but beyond that it's a reminder to slow down and reduce the fric-tion in your work and relationships; \u003cb\u003eScrew Before You Glue\u003c\/b\u003e--mechanical fasteners allow you to change and modify a project while glue is forever but sometimes you just need the right glue, so I dig into which ones will do the job with the least harm and best effects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis toolbox also includes lessons from many other incredible makers and creators, including: Jamie Hyneman, Nick Offerman, Pixar director Andrew Stanton, Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro, artist Tom Sachs, and chef Traci Des Jardins. And if everything goes well, we will hopefully save you a few mistakes (and maybe fingers) as well as help you turn your curiosities into creations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI hope this book serves as \"creative rocket fuel\" (Ed Helms) to build, make, invent, explore, and--most of all--enjoy the thrills of being a creator.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.3 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 27, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51964765372717,"sku":"9781982113483","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/every-tools-a-hammer-life-is-what-you-make-it-paperback-1619894.webp?v=1775471887","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/every-tools-a-hammer-life-is-what-you-make-it-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
