A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An imperative how to for creativity Nick OffermanAdam Savage star of Discovery Channel s Mythbusters and one of the most beloved figures in science and tech shares his golden rules of creativity, from finding inspiration to following through and successfully making your idea a reality Every Tool s a Hammer is a chronicle of my life as a maker It s an exploration of making and of my own productive obsessions, but it s also a permission slip of sorts from me to you Permission to grab hold of the things you re interested in, that fascinate you, and to dive deeper into them to see where they lead you.Through stories from forty plus years of making and molding, building and break ing, along with the lessons I learned along the way, this book is meant to be a toolbox of problem solving, complete with a shop s worth of notes on the tools, techniques, and materials that I use most often Things like In Every Tool There Is a Hammer don t wait until everything is perfect to begin a project, and if you don t have the exact right tool for a task, just use whatever s handy Increase Your Loose Tolerance making is messy and filled with screwups, but that s okay, as creativity is a path with twists and turns and not a straight line to be found Use More Cooling Fluid it prolongs the life of blades and bits, and it prevents tool failure, but beyond that it s a reminder to slow down and reduce the fric tion in your work and relationships Screw Before You Glue mechanical fasteners allow you to change and modify a project while glue is forever but sometimes you just need the right glue, so I dig into which ones will do the job with the least harm and best effects.This toolbox also includes lessons from many other incredible makers and creators, including Jamie Hyneman, Nick Offerman, Pixar director Andrew Stanton, Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro, artist Tom Sachs, and chef Traci Des Jardins And if everything goes well, we will hopefully save you a few mistakes and maybe fingers as well as help you turn your curiosities into creations.I hope this book inspires you to build, make, invent, explore, and most of all enjoy the thrills of being a creator.
