Concerning the Craft

Books are an important thing to us, we have the opportunity to spread ideas and learn new things. Whether they are techniques books, essays, plans, or accounts they let us listen to dead or far flung voices.

Right now I'm reading two books on the craftsman as a figure and way or thinking. They are, Richard Sennett's The Craftsman, and Matthen Crawford's Shop Class as Soulcraft. Both of them are really good book thus far.





I want to get a bit further into them before writing some reviews, but I just couldn't wait to say how wonderful it is to hear someone else (in the mass media) speaking passionately about the value of manual work.
