‘An imperative how-to for creativity…I adore this book’ Nick Offerman
Adam Savage – star of Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters and one of the most beloved figures in science and tech – shares his golden rules of creativity, from finding inspiration to following through and successfully making your idea a reality.
Every Tool’s a Hammer is Adam Savage’s chronicle of his life as a maker. Through stories from forty-plus years of making and moulding, building and breaking, this book is a toolbox of problem solving, complete with a shop’s worth of notes on the tools, techniques and materials he uses most often.
This book will save you a few mistakes (and maybe fingers), as well as help turn your curiosities into creations. You will find everything you need to inspire you to build, make, invent, explore and – most of all – enjoy the thrills of being a creator.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Every chapter’s a lesson
Wow what an amazing life Adam has lead. This book has lit a fire up under my donkey.
I have always enjoyed tinkering with things and this book has given me the nudge I need to delve deeper into this past time.
This book is a treasure trove of ideas and helpful hints and the how to, the why and the where.
Thank you Adam for sharing your passion with us

Delicious.Like a fine wine and your favourite meal
Now deeply in love with Adam Savage's voice. He is so passionate reading this book that the act of listening to it felt like I was sitting down to eat my favourite meal of spaghetti bolognese with garlic bread and washing it down with a class of pinot noir. So in other words, I couldn't get enough of it!!! When it was done I wasn't hungry, I felt content ( but i did then google what else he has narrated to know there is more in the future..)
I wouldn't say i'm a crafter in the sense that he is, but i certain create and enjoy cosplay - not to the epic degree he has but it certainly gave me great joy to hear about his passion projects over the years. I also loved that Nick Offerman, also famous for "making and paddling his own canoe" in life featured in the book, although did not narrate that section. Nice cross over.
I would recommend this book to anyone who makes and creates, with their hands or their minds.
Just to let you know, I work for Audible, but the views expressed in this review are 100% my own.

Thank you Adam!
This is a tonic, a glass of ice cold water on a hot day, to any creative out there. Beautifully presented by Adam himself, easy, enjoyable, will listen again and again.
Thanks Adam 😊
