If I Had a Hammer....

the Journal is really on a roll with me today, this is a really interesting piece about Jimmy Carter's furniture-making projects:



you can read the full story here ["Jimmy Carter Carves New Role In His Garage"] ... it really gives a sense of a very humble and unpretentious man, with little tidbits like:

After Mr. Carter's defeat in the 1980 presidential election, the White House staff raised money to buy him an elaborate woodworking shop as a parting gift. He had the equipment installed in the garage behind his home here in Plains. (The Carters haven't owned a car since he was elected president.)
