Every Tool's a Hammer: Life Is What You Make It | Adam Savage

pick

This is a wonderful look at into the work of Adam Savage. It‘s part memoir, part science, part shop talk. It was fun to hear him talk about creating. Even though I create in a much different way than him, I took a lot away from this lovely book. It‘s funny and uplifting, encouraging everyone to nurture their inner creator.

GingerAntics The subtitle made me a little nervous, but this isn‘t a book about thinking positive and more about creating whatever it is you create with wild, passionate, abandon. 1mo

What a wonderful experience. Honestly wasn't sure if this would be more memoir or manual. It's definitely more how to and I love it. Savage talks though his moments in his personal journey as lessons learned, and how it's transferable/applicable to all kinds of creatives. He explains why the pain in the ass parts, are so important through personal incidents. He has not just knowledge but wisdom and experience. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? It's not about some specific shiny tool, though he does mention a few, it's about the right preparations, taking it in steps, in the right mindset. I love his emphasis on sharing knowledge and experience, how he expands that to a collaborative element within the book, sharing insights from fellow makers. There are funny anecdotes and observations and an overall attitude of warmth and encouragement. 1y

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I don't know how much would be considered beginner/common sense for makers, I think it counts more as perennially useful wisdom, though I'll admit my perspective is that of the maker status I would personally term of 'sporadic hobby class'. I think anyone could find value in it. ♥️
