A Trowel is a small handheld tool with a flat pointed blade, used to apply and spread mortar or plaster.
A Musket is an infantryman\u2019s light gun with a long barrel, typically smooth-bored, muzzle-loading, and fired from the shoulder.
Both are very difficult, if not impossible, to use one-handed.
The musket requires one hand to pull the trigger and the other to aim. If you were to try and fire it one-handed, you would invariably miss your intended target and could possibly create injuries to others you did not intend, including possibly injuring yourself from the backfire.
A trowel is used in building to spread mortar and plaster, and would be difficult to use one-handed. The second hand must hold the Hawk, a board which holds the plaster, so that the user can repeatedly, quickly, and easily get the plaster onto the trowel so it can be applied to the surface being built. Without the hawk, the builder would need to move farther to get the plaster and so would not be able to focus as well on the work being done, leading to a more unfinished look to the product and possibly structural integrity issues. It could also lead to personal injury from back strain due to having to bend one\u2019s self repeatedly.
If you were to decide to hold both a musket and a trowel, you would either be unable to use either, or you would need to choose which to drop and which to use. Ultimately, we can either build for someone, or destroy them, but we can not do both. No one we\u2019ve shot with a musket will ever let us build for them again. No one we\u2019ve built temples for wants us to shoot the same.
So if you must choose between the musket in the left, or the trowel in the right, choose wisely. A bullet fired can never be returned to the barrel. Bad mortar can lead to serious foundation and structural problems that will cost you down the line. I beg you to build. <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
