“How’s she cutting?”

Sean wonders if carpenters dump their tools after they use them.

“How’s she cutting?” says Joe the Carpenter.
“I should be asking you that,” Sean says. “I was talking to a carpenter once. I was fascinated by his toolbag. He had a plane, and chisels, and whatnot. He was out hanging doors… but everything was disposable. His screwdriver worked with batteries. His saw was disposable. But the thing that he kept was his hammer. Would that be right, Joe? You could throw four or five hammers on a bench and he’d know the feel of his own hammer. Does that apply to you, Joe? No? I think I’ll just move on.” With music from George Baker Select, Elvis Presley and the Jordanaires, Paul Simon, and more.
