JOINERY: A Butting Relationship

Life is poetry in motion; life is Haiku Eclectic! 

Artisans, crafters, makers, designers, all kinds, and every human being alike, no matter their disposition, calling or vocation, show off their lives in poetic fashion through their efforts and accomplishments of joining in the collaborative process of creating useful, helpful, and pleasing works for others to benefit from and enjoy.

In this video we explore the philosophical aspects of JOINERY in a most practical way; we join ideas about work shop organization and derive new ideas for storage and ease of access to our tools, fasteners, supplies, and the various materials used to create in a given medium.  The very practical aspect of tool storage and organization works itself out in joining ideas from other creators and content providers, namely  @herrickkimball ,  @wittworks , and  @TheArtofBoatBuilding.

Many thanks and appreciation goes out to the creators and content providers of those channels as they provided the initial impetus that spurred on this channel, along with the added touch of whatever I bring to the party with #HaikuEclectic.  Herrick Kimball's channel gave me inspiration to use the cast-off copper of electrical wire to create tool hangers and organizers for all the pegboard in my shop, while wittworks, not so keen on pegboard, delivered ideas around the use of scrap wood for making holders for  tools and materials in any woodworking, metalworking, or other type of workshop or art studio.  As for The Art of Boat Building, the inspirational impetus to use models helped to bring all the elements of the creative process together to produce this inaugural video, JOINERY.

Effectively--it may or may not be argued :-)--I "joined" the use of two very different approaches to shop storage and organization, and incorporated it into an approach that neither of the other creative channels  were using, that being pegboard; the inspiration to use modeling in the creative building process from the other content provider, provided an effective glue to fasten the various inspirational parts together.

Beyond that, Haiku, as a form of poetry, also plays an important role in this channel.  Such short-form poetry provides a great opportunity to speak to any given topic in a very direct though deeply meaningful way, providing open ended language that spurs the creative process forward, rather than hedging it in with rigid constraint.  People's lived lives, stand as epics of the poetic, full of drama, conflict, tragedy and many a comedy of errors, but always filled with beauty, elegance, purpose, and promise; the creation of a poem is a wonder to behold!
