“If I was going to be separated from civilization and could only bring 3 things with me, the would be a hammer, anvil and a supply of steel. With a hammer and anvil I would make a chisel, with a hammer and chisel I would make a file. With a chisel and file, hammer and anvil I would make everything else.”
That is paraphrased from I believe, the preface or forward of a blacksmithing book published in the 70’s that seemed to be a reprint of much older information.
I want to use that quote in an invitation to a date, and it would be more effective if it had attribution.
Yes, I know an attractive woman that would think that spending a day making a chisel and a file would be a great date after reading that quote, and no, I’m not telling you her name!
