Buying a tool is best, knowing 
meets the test.

The Royal London Society was founded in the 17th Century, 
and the French Academy of Science shortly after. These societies were founded for those interested in 
science to promote science, math, economics, and hopefully assist industry.  

Ben Franklin won a medal by the English Royal Society. These are some of the  
more "Well Known" facts, but the book is filled with the obscure, less known history, facts, 
and many profound details of industry that is rarely presented. The instruments of precision, the 
great books, and the great places where the machines were thought of and developed.  You'll 
see that the 50 Giants reveals quite a bit of insight and awareness of the philosophy, and the 
ambition behind the machine and industry.

_______________

Who was he?  Find out in the The Fifty Giants of Industry...#39.  He was a not so famous 
engineer. In 1790's  facing a French political storm he fled to the United States, becoming 
an explorer and engineer. 

The son of a farmer, he joined the Navy instead. That is where the mystery begins. 
This key individual was going to become a cleric , but almost everything divine was broken apart 
during the "un cool" times of the French Revolution. Very little is known about his educational 
or political affiliation except that he had gained connections with some of the top American and 
British military officers through his job as an engineer for awhile in New York. After a few 
years in America, where many of the French outposts were populated with French at the time, he 
moved to live with family in England. 

200 years ago the hand tool were replaced with a "power tool" called 
the steam engine, a cool invention which soon powered the world.  Ships 
sailed into the wind, and that mattered big time.  

He was an engineer in the days when Adam Smith's book was recently released, and was a 
must have.  It was for those involved in science, higher learning, military technology, advanced 
finance, mechanics, economics and productivity. We live in a world where people instinctively hold 
themselves within the boundaries of one culture, of one specializing and one rigid political correctness. 
The new, productive, ambitious engineers, innovators, and technologists were working late  
regardless of the hot chaotic politics around the 1790's, which was an enigma. The war torn 
economic and mechanical thinkers of the times perceived political correctness as an illusion 
separate from national, and economic prosperity, so they did whatever was necessary once 
they came upon one idea after another to mechanize, save waste, or provide a service.  
Many hoping to win money from the the Bank of England, from Fleet Street, and Wall Street.  
Adam Smith although not always perfect, explained that there was a necessity to be cool, to 
trust in innovation, mechanics, technology, and cast off myths, politics, or any sentimentalities 
which might detract the ambitions and passion for people to partake in business...
Not cool right! Tolls were what seemed to matter, not tools.


Individual experts were sharing their ideas and backgrounds for centuries in "Universities" and 
scientific societies where mechanics, mathematicians, economists, scientists, and investors gathered 
for a non-political purpose. James Watt was an example of this because he was an instrument maker, 
and through his university, a scholar presented him with a steam engine which was barely known by most 
of the world. Watt, having connections with an investor, and having difficulty finding work, propelled the 
world into a new era with his improvements to the the current waste and inefficiency...launching the 
era of steam, and the advantage of the next power tools, the steam ships over 
sailing ships was phenomenal. 

Power tools were discovered by many of the 50 Giants, 
who, through innovation, investing, and luck...became quite powerful.
For them, it wasn't an event, it was a process.

Our mystery "Giant heart" did much to develop saw milling machinery, undertaking 
contracts for the government. The man also built himself a sawmill and developed other 
machinery and a factory, but after a fire he was bankrupted, and served time in prison. 
Having so many connections, he went on to educate his son, another famous and successful 
civic developer. This Giant is #39 in  book...The 50 Giant of Industry."

"The 50 Giants of Industry...FREE"  
A very interesting historical account of the top 50 most notable
greats in the history of science and the arts. Few people have any idea how 
influential these Giants were.  Much of the world's progress
 is the result of "The 50 Giants of Industry" The "Gentle Giants." 
 
We rarely think critically enough to be convinced of the 
amount of contribution these 50 Industry Icons (many unknown) made to 
productivity and the potential that machines were capable of, even before the 
1900's had begun. These "Giant Hearts" fought sentiments,  doubt, critics, and 
setback, and selfishly gave mankind it's value. It sounds like hyperbole during 
some pretty mixed up times, and mixed ideas and views of history, but when it 
all boils down, society would not be a very welcome place without them. If we 
lost everything tomorrow, all of the benevolence we would receive might just be 
the result of the richness and depth that productivity has engraved into 
Western society.  A few want to see this book as required reading in 
trade schools. What a power tool for innovators...its a cool tool, filled 
with insight, and it's FREE with the box joint manual....

Those who build jigs or fixtures in the shop, from the casual woodworker 
to the automation technician or engineer begins to see the real value 
of machines, not the basic, occasional, "pastime" value.  Hence...they have 
really learned a simple but necessary ingredient involved in making more 
things with tools. Someone who learns how to use just simple, but accurate 
gauging techniques can discover the true productive potential of a table saw. Then, 
not only do tool users make nice box joints, but they can go on to apply the 
principles to make many machines become more productive 
and yielding.  Box joints are like a "goals gateway."
