Clementine, Sir Winston's wife, was talking to a street sweeper for a while. "What did you talk about for so long?" asked Sir Winston.
She smiled, "Many years ago he was madly in love with me."
Churchill smiled ironically, "So you could have been the wife of a street sweeper today. "
′′Oh no, my love ", Clementine replied, "If I had married him, he would have been the prime minister today.

I remember Roy Underhill demonstrating a handmade tool made from an old clock mainspring. I don't recall what it did exactly, but it was some sort of scraper or scorer. 

Thin steel and narrow is usually cut in decorative curves to add bead work to cabinetry.  You just grind a square edge and/or curve with a burr, and start scraping and it turns into beautiful artistry.

Scrapers are simple tools that leave a mirror edge or surface on hardwoods.  They are much faster cutting than one would believe.  I love them.
