Watching a mason in Savannah fix my wobbly garden wall changed my whole approach to the trowel
I stood there for 20 minutes while he tapped every third brick with the butt end, not the edge, and then he told me it's about feeling the bed through the handle, so now I slow down and listen for that hollow sound instead of rushing a course, has anyone else switched to a lighter touch after watching an old-timer work?

Man, watching a potter center clay taught me the same thing about feeling the wheel.
