| Keywords: | Bookbinding tools |

| Description: | Most commonly, all interactions between an object conserved and a conservator are mediated through the use of a tool. This article examines the nature and meaning of interacting with a tool, and its tripartite effects on conservator, tool and object being conserved. Because using a tool often results in its being “embodied” with us, it is usually not consciously noticed. Some general societal attitudes toward working with one’s hands may also contain some clues why the use of tools receives scant critical attention. The ontological status of tools, as distinct from art or other objects will also be briefly examined. By paying attention to the types of relations that develop when using a tool, perhaps we can improve the skill level of the treatments performed. |
