The most essential thing for a craftsman or mechanic is the tool. Tools must not be abused. They must be kept clean and sharp. Occasionally they must be oiled to prevent rust. Keep tools in a rack purposely made for them. Have only the tool you are using on the bench or in hand; the rest must be in their places. Do not mar, scratch or deface the bench in any way. In fact, your bench top should be as clean and polished as your library table. Never allow any shavings or dust to accumulate or remain on the bench. They will not only mar the bench, but also the object you are working at. A great factor in preserving the bench is the bench hook. You may do your sawing, chiseling, cutting and fitting on this. In this way you will protect your bench and work. Use it whenever possible. The room should be kept very clean. A mans workshop is his castle. BENCH STOP.
