My first tool was a hand-me-down hammer, and it shaped how I see home projects
I got my dad's old hammer when I was ten. We used it to build a birdhouse together. Back then, projects were slow and full of mistakes. Now, with electric tools, everything is faster. But I think we lose some of the feel for the work. Taking time to measure and cut by hand taught me care. I still use that hammer for small jobs, just to remember.
