(Color Edition). Creative people tend to accrue a nifty set of tools. Great tools enable efficiency and further creativity, and sometimes inspire whole new ways of working. For the past five years, we have interviewed notable creators in a 25-minute podcast for Cool Tools, asking them to rave about four of their favorite tools. These tools range from classic handtools, to state-of-the-art laser cutters, to perfect pencils. Each pick is a surprise and a lesson. The 150 best past responses from the Cool Tools podcast are presented in this book. The result is 300 pages of concentrated goodness and tool fandom. (A less expensive B&W edition is available from the “See all 2 formats” link above.)
