Description
While not technically a tool this picture wire had the same technique applied to it as I used for the tools in my Happy Tools series. My tool chest holds a wide variety of tools that I have acquired over the years. Some were my grandfather’s, some my late father’s, and some I purchased throughout my lifetime. Whether I am making a repair or building something new I derive a great deal of pleasure using these tools. When I use my father’s tools his presence is with me as I recall how he taught me the right way to use the tool. My grandfather passed away before I was born. When I use his tools, I feel a connection to the man I was named for. All of the tools have their own special patina and texture after years of use. Color added to these photographic images adds beauty to their interesting shapes and finishes. Looking at them makes me happy.
