d6 Flaw
I don't know when to throw something away. You
never know when it might be useful again.
2 I get frustrated to the point of distraction by shoddy
craftsmanship.
3 Though I am an excellent crafter, my work tends to
look as though it belongs on a ship.
4 I am so obsessed with sketching my ideas for elabo-
rate inventions that I sometimes forget little thing like
eating and sleeping.
5 I'm judgmental of those who are not skilled with tools
of some kind.
6 I sometimes take things that don' t belong to me, es-
pecially if they are very well made.SALT MARSH TIES
