AnagramsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A tool, broadly defined, is an entity that interfaces between two or more domains; that facilitates more effective action of one domain upon the other. Basic tools are simple machines. For example, a crowbar simply functions as a lever. The further out from the pivot point, the more force is transmitted along the lever. A hammer typically interfaces between the operator's hand and the nail the operator wishes to strike. Tools are the most important items that the ancient humans used to climb to the top of the food chain; by inventing tools, they were able to accomplish tasks that their bodies could not, such as using a spear or bow and arrow to kill prey, since their teeth were not sharp enough to pierce many animals' skins. A telephone is a communication tool that interfaces between two people engaged in conversation at one level. And between each user and the communication network at another. It is in the domain of media and communications technology that a counter-intuitive aspect of our relationships with our tools first began to gain popular recognition. Marshall McLuhan famously said "We shape our tools. And then our tools shape us." McLuhan was referring to the fact that our social practices co-evolve with our use of new tools and the refinements we make to existing tools. Tools that have evolved for use in particular domains can be given different assignations. For example, tools designed for domestic use are often called utensils. Observation has confirmed that that multiple species can use tools, including monkeys, apes, several birds, and sea otters. Philosophers originally thought that only humans had the ability to make tools, until zoologists observed birds and monkeys making tools. Now humans' unique relationship to tools is considered to be that we are the only species that uses tools to make other tools. Most anthropologists believe that the use of tools was an important step in the evolution of mankind. Humans evolved an opposable thumb — useful in holding tools — and increased dramatically in intelligence, which aided in the use of tools. Carpentry tools recovered from the wreck of a 16th century sailing ship, the Mary Rose.From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What tools would be appropriate to carve a piece of obsidian jewelry? Q. I would prefer "the correct" tools, but basically I am just interested in some advice on what I could use to: 1) chisel it into the rough shape (a fleur-de-lis). 2) finely round and smooth it. 3) polish it. Also, if you have any advice (I expect that obsidian is rather fragile)... I have large quantities so trial and error is definitely an option as I learn.

Such as several thicknesses of dopping sticks dowels about 3-5 inches long and Green Wax to hold the item on the stick. (heat the wax until it becomes very soft and put a dollop on the stick you choose. To break bond pu it into the freezer and it will become brittle. Save the pieces because it is reusable. You will also need a grinding wheel to shape the stone. Find a local artisan that makes stone jewelry and he/she can set you up. Usually, at craft fairs. Do not chisel it because it is a form of glass. Grinding and polishing is the way to go. The medium to use aluminum oxide. Finish the piece with red, gray or yellow rouge that all come in thick sticks and are graded for grit..

Q. We have mostly weeds, and want to plant a lot of grass seeds, to try to crowd out the weeds. We probably need to dethatch, aerate, etc., then plant the seeds, then water frequently till the seeds sprout, and probably mow frequently to keep the weeds from growing back. We have a mower but nothing to dethatch or aerate or anything. We've heard of a power rake but don't know where to rent one or how to use it. Or what other tools should we rent or buy, and where we should get them? Asked by Dilbert - Tue Aug 14 19:47:50 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Look in the phone book for under rentals. You find them listed. A power rake or dethatcher removes the thatch layer on the soil surface. Check first that you have it, cut a core down into the ground and pull out the plug with the soil. Thatch is the layer on top of the soil. If it's more than 1/2 inch, dethatch. Power rakes have a rotating drum with tines that whirl down to the soil line kicking up the dead thatch but leaving the living grass (hopefully) You don't want to plow up your lawn, just barely touch the ground. Then you have this mountain of dead stuff you have to rake up and dispose. Aeration pokes holes or cuts slices in the soil allowing oxygen to penetrate. It somewhat punches through thatch if it's that magical 1/2… [cont.] Answered by fluffernut - Tue Aug 14 20:04:36 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "tools"  news.google.com Dark Reading (blog) Enough preaching about logs...let's dig into some of the tools for analyzing those dumps of Windows memory we talked about acquiring on Friday. ... news.google.com Yahoo!
