A modest proposal to WoG and other young NRx types into ᵃᵉˢᵗʰᵉᵗᶦᶜˢ

go take a week long class on timber framing

don't just FETISHIZE hands on building ; do some of it

you'll learn chisels and handplanes, mallets and mortises

I did; quite enjoyed it

is it @strnglft who keeps tweeting "male friendship is the strongest force in the universe" ? Whoever it is, I love seeing that tweet.

So here's an idea, lads:

Coordinate. Get a group of 4 /5 / 10 young guys and all head up to VT for a week and learn to build a house.

I think it was my third or fourth date with my now-wife @LibertyFarmNH that I drove her up to Vermont and showed her a house I'd helped build.

Expensive signalling is effective.

Tools and skills are awesome.

Plus, you know, male friendship.
