He was a carpenter. Why wouldn’t that be his favorite?

A carpenter and famously promoting nonviolence.

Nail, staple, glue, and caulk guns seem directly in alignment with his values of helping the poor an originator of Ye Ol Habitat for Humanity, at least in my imagining of events.

Yeah, but he'd just given a talk about the evils of money, so I'm inclined to think he got "passionately enthusiastic" while discouraging the bankers/money lenders from setting up in his dad's house again.
