A) A bit of personal social culture...what is a TINKERER?..a 'shop'....a 'shed'? Only an earlier GUY or country GUY should know!
B) Both designed and built simple "shops", 'sheds' or garages out back to into and "tinker" within their own private world...an 'escape', both being expert craftsmen...tailors!
C) Both liked to build 'thangs' out there...to 'putter' around...to 'tinker'...little thangs, but always the aim was to have their own little space to do it, by themselves, away removed from the madding crowd. Both had a fascination, so did I, with the circus. So, my father would design and build little wooden models of circus wagons. He even bought, later, an acre of wooded, mountain land in Deerfield Valley to 'get away' and tinker.
The other gender, by the way? Have, as yet, uncovered NO women to have ever 'tinkered!'
D) 'Tinkering' seems to have disappeared in our current society! And seems not to be passed on from father to son anymore. What a shame! Hey, this guy still carries on the tradition of 'tinkering' that my grandfather passed on to my father to me. But it now goes on at my typewriter and computer space!
