The apparent
The apparent"perfection" of some machined operations has
trapped the craftsman into feeling that this is the
way it should be. There is no excuse for lazy or
shoddy work, hand or machine, but it is nice to
think that this table or this chair was made by
a human being." JOHN BROWN
Beautiful work , fine craftsmanship.

But he, who will make a useful Chair is forced to think clearly.
