Florip Toolworks Preserves Tradition with Handcrafted Woodworking Tools
You know, nowadays that idea of having a “hobby” almost sounds quaint. Like, if you asked someone, “What are your hobbies?” you might get some blank stares.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. But I think people are figuring out again that there’s a certain amount of satisfaction that comes from creating something. And at the end of the day, you have to find things to do with your time that’s maybe more than just watching TV, right? And I’ve found that I get a lot of pleasure from creating things. For instance, I have this saw hanging on my wall that was made in 1830-something. And this saw—I could sharpen it right now and use it. It’s just a well-made tool. And I think it’s cool that 150 years from now, my tools could be out there still being used by people who enjoy the same thing I do. It’s rewarding to think that I’m making something that’s worth holding onto. And you’re just not going to get that with a saw from Home Depot.
