The Beauty of the Common Tool
The Beauty of the Common Tool
1996, English. Directed by Owen Thomas.
Time and again a man will stand before a hardware store window eyeing the tools arrayed behind the glass; his mouth will water; he will go in and hand over $2.65 for a perfectly special kind of wrench; and probably he will never, never, use it for anything. -Walker Evans
