“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

    Its my contention that even in a communist society, one that has reinvigorated the passion for craftsmanship, mechanics of all crafts will tinker with different tools.

    The method of producing the end product could and should adapt to the need of the crafts person producing it. It’s what, in my opinion, makes the product human/ flawed/ authentic as a result.

    I for one enjoy seeing imperfections in hand made products. It gives me insight into how the person crafting it may have held the object. Quite possibly indicating how their physical state was when producing it. Very human, I like that shit.
