Not to mention if you try using the a small Phillips screwdriver suitable for changing a plug to screw in the sort of screw you want for a sturdy book shelf (or vice versa) you're going to find yourself in all sorts of bother.

Then he got rid of his books so that's not an issue he has I guess...

Interesting that he does identify that you need more than one kitchen knife. Minimum for me is a decent general knife (say 7") and a bread knife.

Generally there are two essential knives; a chefs knife and a paring knife. I agree that a bread knife is nice to have, but I could probably get by without it.

In a pinch (like when I find that my proper knives haven't been washed) I find that my steak knives will cut anything, from raw meat to vegetables to cheese to bread to steak.

But the kitchen is a lousy place to practice minimalism anyway.
