Callused fingers work over the divots and rivulets in the metal. A hammer chinks loudly against it. The sound of a drill buzzing away in the distance is muffled by your protective ear plugs. A metal mask protects the face of your partner from the scorching blue light of the blow torch she is using beside you. Saws snore jaggedly through lumber.
Metal rubs electrically together. The simultaneous edge and flair of these hardware pieces are mechanical, industrial, cold and hot at once. Fierce enough for a man, and stylish enough for a woman.
