When the boys at Garber Hardware offered me practically free office space in a secret lofted clubhouse area in the back of the store, it was a dream come true-I got a work space outside of my apartment and got to move to an environment in which I could learn about various hex wrenches, bolts, drill bits, and paint-mixing machines when I needed a break from recipes, menus, and kitchen problems.
Now, as if stalking the perfect union of Garber + TDD, Wrenchware is making Tool Silverware, which is exactly what the name implies. The stem of a fork ends in a box-end. The stem of the knife has a jaw opening, and an open-end wrench proudly heads up the spoon.
Each place setting will run you $24, but just think, you are getting silverware and a tool kit in one!! The set even comes in its own blow-molded plastic toolbox. I never knew fixing things up in the kitchen would take on such meaning!
