About Dad's Workshop
A particular calm settles over a garage workshop, the low slant of light through a dusty window, the smell of pine and machine oil, the pegboard hung with tools in their proper outlines. A good workbench holds a lifetime of small repairs: a drawer that wouldn't close, a rocking chair leg, a birdhouse built with a grandchild on a slow Saturday morning. The sawhorse, the level, the vise cranked just so, these are the quiet instruments of someone who likes to make things right.
