Nick Offerman Told Me That Swinging a Hammer Might Change My Life

Reviews by Wirecutter: This is Nick Offerman delivering an endearingly earnest sermon, over videoconference, about a hammer — an Estwing, to be exact, but we’ll get to that. We’re chatting on the occasion of his latest book, Little Woodchucks: Offerman Woodshop’s Guide to Tools and Tomfoolery, a family-friendly manual for building things like your own toys, a toolbox, or one of those little free libraries. To hear him talk about it, though, maybe the book is also a manifesto about how an implement as humble as a hammer can actually change your life.
