TAILORS' SHEARS

[Greger]

These tools skills and knowledge is fast disappearing. This one wooden ship builder had 4 or 5 adzes and for every specific job he would make a new handle for the one he chose. He spent several months or a couple of years at the union hall learning how and the why's to do this... ...So much incredible knowledge and skills are being lost.

Greger, you are in Washington, yeah, so this might be familiar when wood reigned supreme.
