The Claw

Very few people are defined by their hands as much as Alain.
To me, the Claw crushing the Gauloise is the essence of him.

This hand (and its twin sister - out of shot) hasn't wasted too much time on the CTRL+C CTRL+V keys.
It has produced real, tangible, measurable work.
It has had a few unfortunate encounters with steel cutting heavy machinery.

It is the home of the world famous petit doigt gratteur (part power tool, part precision tool, 100% beauty of nature)

Its owner is now enjoying a well deserved retirement.
