Does anyone else have a special spot in their hearts for the working tools of masonry? I just live the duality and allusions in the lectures I've heard do far. I'm being raised to the sublime degree of master mason on 29 August 2013. I can't wait to hear the last one. Does anyone have any interesting facts or tidbits or history or stories about the working tools? I'd love to hear it!
