As I recall, that guy had his head up his chassis, right?.... and caught some flak for it. Or maybe it was some other boob from some other ivory tower.

When in the hands of inventive people, even the simplest of tools
(oh, gee I don't know.... a pencil for instance??) can be wondrous
instruments of splendiferous (please don't look that up) creativity.
The book is intended to be a stepping off point , an introduction
to some of the things that can be done with pressure.

Obviously, not everybody got or gets that. I've spent a lot of time on the phone with customers trying to give them some inkling of what
embossing and blanking can do for them, but it's really hard for some people (I'm up near the top of the list)to envision things without visual aid. It can be hard for some, even with visuals, to come up with new things. Then there are those that invent , and we come to expect it from them.... very nice work, Jack!!.
