A review by duallain
The Anarchist's Tool Chest by Christopher Schwarz

5.0

I read this book quite some time ago, and there are still pieces of it bubbling up into my head here and there. It's a books about woodworking, and though Schwarz attempts to say it's about more than that I found that focusing on the woodworking part of it makes the most sense.

The core idea is: stop buying things just to buy things. Have an essential list and once it's fulfilled you ought to never buy woodworking tools again. Ohh, and all that stuff should fit into a well organized little place. It's an ideal to live up to, that when you generalize seems to fit many of the other movements like the Marie Kondo book 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up' the small house folks and many others.

Would recommend to anyone.
