Are you a tool? How did 'tools' get such a bad rap! 
The Urban Dictionary refers to a tool as "One who lacks the mental capacity to know he is being used. A fool. A cretin. Characterized by low intelligence and/or self-esteem."

Tools needs to be used ! Not the sharpest tool in the shed?
If your tool is not being used because it's dull, broken or wrong for the job, it can't even be a tool.. insert sad face here.
Boost your tool's self esteem~
​Do you have tools that need the blade sharpened to make them more useful again? 
Bring them to Building.Community's Blade Tool Restoration Workshop. on JUNE 29, WED, 10am-1 pm, click here for details. It's the first in a series on Tool restoration workshops, free to the community.
A local maker and all around hands on genius, Bill O'brien will be there to lead a session on how to restore the blade on a variety of tools. Bring your own, or learn by watching and participating. 

Building.Community will also be accepting donations of  tools to add to their Tool Library which you may find useful in the future. Here's an article about their story here.

Tool libraries are popping up all over, allowing folks to get access to tools without having to purchase them for that one time use.  Learn about this sensible idea here ~ http://localtools.org/
