I’m always searching this picture with my students and never finding it. Now that I got it I’m gonna keep it safe here.

It says (according to Google translate):

« trajectory of hammer blows » and « hammer head positions »

Reasons i choose binding for my living activity, and didn’t flee with difficulties (mostly a note for myself):

- handwork, handcraft that cannot be imitate by the industry and its machines: perpetuating knowledge

- loads of steps and many techniques super challenging for the brain

- access to rare books, rare document that i can not afford nor see elsewhere

- possibility to train me to be always learning; learn to be learning as a way of living

- working with my body as a fuel and be resilient on environnement standard

- learn to diminish my needs as i don’t make a lot of money, ascèse-like training

- possibility to listen to podcast/ Watch movies while working: boost knowledge and analyzing skills

- possibility to get lost in work, and travelling through a rabbit’s hole

- possibility to work following my rythm, to slow my process and not trying to compete with capitalism economy

- books everywhere / beautiful wooden tools
