The craftsman isn't ever following a single line of instruction. He's making decisions as he goes along. For that reason he'll be absorbed and attentive to what he's doing even though he doesn't deliberately contrive this. His motions and the machine are in a kind of harmony.

The material and his thoughts are changing together in a progression of changes until his mind's at rest at the same time the material's right. philosophy quality-of-work workman professional flow style Robert M.
