Journey of the Craftsman

His grandmother told him stories about the night, How it had...

The Better Craftsman
He could take what most found, in the time of that Particular incumbent fashion, to be lacking in any Pleasing or greatly passionate way, And, after immersing it into low, blue flame, Repeatedly beat upon this quivering mass as If it were but a whitened molten lump when Drawn from violent, torturing heat...

Premium Member Fun: A Poor Craftsman Blames His Tools
The cookies were raw, must be the salt, The oven's a little bit broke, And the cake didn't rise, flat as a tack, Must have been a faulty egg yoke, Maybe the hammer is bent at the head, Maybe the saw is just blunt, Maybe I need a new set of tools, So I can work like a normal adult, You see, each...

The labor like clockwork...
