It had taken a lifetime to come to this point.

Ben's Dad had brought him into the shop on his sixth birthday, nearly
eighty years before, and introduced him to what was to become his life
long passion. The small softwood workbench that greeted him on that
day was now only a childhood memory but the Stanley bit brace still
hung on the wall of the shop and was still taken down and put to work
when the mood was on him.
