One of the aspects of Kale’s apprenticeship that is important but not obvious involves “Catbus” – our 1996 Mitsubishi Minicab. It’s a Japanese import, right-hand drive and has a manual four-speed transmission. The little truck is invaluable for gathering and moving materials around the city. The back flaps of the truck all fold down, offering a low flat-bed truck. When we need to move books, T-shirts, lumber or tools, Catbus is almost always my first choice.

One of the informal “rules” of traditional apprenticeships is that you don’t take your own children on as apprentices.

They hate that.”The Anarchist's Apprentice is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. I constantly anthropomorphize my tools. In fact, I have closer relationships with my tools than I do with some members of my extended family.

Kale VogtApril 28, 2025Sometimes you build something that fights you at every step. Physically and mentally, it challenges you and beats the question “why” into you over and over again until it keeps you up at night. No matter what you do, you can’t seem to make this project sing to you — but you have to finish it.
