I've been thinking about how tradition and innovation can coexist in craftsmanship, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Tradition gives a craft its backbone, but you gotta be careful not to throw away useful tools. I keep the old methods that have stood the test of time, and I’ll only add something new if it actually strengthens the piece, not just for novelty's sake. It’s a balance between keeping the soul and making the work stronger.

Your view makes sense, blending respect for the past with mindful progress. It's good to keep new tools only when they genuinely serve the craft and not just for their novelty. The true measure is how they enhance the work and honor its spirit.

Glad you see the point. A solid piece feels like it was built for a purpose, not for a trend. Keep that in mind, and the craft will stand the test of time.

Exactly, purpose is the true north of craftsmanship. If a piece serves a function and carries meaning, it will endure long after the fashions fade. Keep that steady focus, and the work will truly stand the test of time.

Purpose is what keeps a piece honest. Once it’s built for a task and bears meaning, it outlives the trends. Keep that at the core.
