If I had a hammer...

bosk is bosk

tospit is tospit

benches can be bought or made, collected or even stolen

not every man is a carpenter

some are collectors and still others are renovators

pleasure or chore? depends on the man

whatever you do, do not order bosk then bitch when it is bosk, not a tospit

how many nails would it take? if you sand it too far what will be left? who sweeps up the sawdust and does anyone mourn it?

is stripping a well crafted cabinet preferable to buying a new one or building your own?

would the bench be stronger if more planks were added or is it better to lighten the load by restricting who can use it?

is a well crafted piece of molding worth the cost if it does not match the decor?

can a repaired joint ever be as strong as the one first created? could it be stronger, sleeker, more stylish, more...pleasing?

really never was up to the tree that was felled to harvest the wood to occupy the idle hands of a man was it?

until it was. which is when the tospit tried to be a bosk and everything went to hell.

I am so very sore, though I counted, if bruises count as marks, charge an extra 32 copper. I begged for each and every one. Wouldn't know what to do with a day off. A hot bath sounds good though. Wake me up if I drown.
