transcript“It’s a poor worksman who blames his tools” has always been complete nonsense. No-one complains about imperfect tools faster and louder than a master. A master will yank a cheap or damaged tool out of your hand and yell at you for not blaming it yet

Cheap, lousy tools come from middle managers who don’t know how to do your job. Blame the hell out of poor tools and those who demand you use them

Many master carpenters outsource sharpening. I still remember an episode of Good Eats where Alton Brown said he outsourced all his knife sharpening. So the practice of outsourcing the maintenance of tools is done in other professions.

Hobbyists are the ones who try and do everything.
