𝙽 𝙾 𝚆 𝙰 𝚅 𝙰 𝙸 𝙻 𝙰 𝙱 𝙻 𝙴: A memoir of experiences as a young union carpenter 50 years ago on large-scale building projects on the West Coast.

The book moves from job to job touching particularly on some significant projects in San Francisco: the Palace of Fine Arts, St. Mary's Cathedral, Moscone Center and the Unitarian Church. Interspersed with essays of reflection on: tools as words; the personality of hands; & the advent of trigger-based tools.

On some jobs the salient memories have to do with the technical wonders...like a complex roof structure on a cathedral. On others, it's the particular dynamic of a crew finding its voice as union brothers. Some chapters describe a near-death experience, or a racially-charged confrontation. And every story reveals the kinds of people who did this work half a century ago.
