Shop Class as Soulcraft is the name of new-ish book by Matthew Crawford. I had heard of this book long before it’s release, but somewhere along the line I lost track of it’s release, and now it’s been out for quite a while! So at this time, I can’t offer you my review of the book, but I can point you to a great review by the Englewood Review of Books – [HERE] – Also, an excerpt [HERE], and below, an interview with the author on Colbert, [HERE]
I can’t wait to get my hands on this book! Perfect timing, as I’m preparing to take on my own studio/shop space – more on that in the weeks to come!

Thanks for this post. My “intellectual” work has never been, nor likely ever will be, as satisfying and fulfilling as the times I have applied my mind and body to the creating of things!
