    Actually that is NOT a case of too many tools rather it is a completely sensible use of available resources in an efficient manner to provide timely access to the required tool without delay!

    Phew! Panic attack averted. Equilibrium re-established. Time to go looking for more angle grinders.

    OK I will admit that collecting tools is very much in my DNA. I really do need to have a giant tidy up of my shed so that I can find those tools that I have bought and forgotten about. (I think there will be more than I think there are) I have a Kerf Master sitting on my desk here in front of me. I paid $24 for it new maybe a year ago. To use it I will need to have the computer on hand to tell me how to use it. Yes it was an impulse buy because the proper brand was some where about $100. It is well made and finished and resides in its own metal box with shaped foam packing.
    Every morning sitting here in front of the computer I get lists of the latest tools on special from Hare and Forbes, Timbecon, Carba-Tec, Total Tools and a couple others. I waste a lot of time looking through the offerings. Only sometimes do I think "I need that". I just can't bring myself to use the "Unsubscribe" button.
    If I did......I might miss a "bargain".....yes I have too many tools
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    Chambezio, those kerf makers are FANTASTIC. It sure feels like you are solving a Rubiks cube at first, but after a few times it really makes sense and works incredibly well.

    Marvellous invention.


    Confession time! I am a sinner too.

    My failing is I'll have "Tool with 2 accessories" .... then I see a second-hand "Tool with THREE accessories" ... and will buy the whole damned thing just to get the extra widget. I have convinced myself it gives me Extra Capacity.

    Its all a lie of course, but I can live with it

    I can relate to that. Having the ability or capacity to do something is far more important than actually doing it.
    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

    Ah! Funny but also very true! I can't be the only one that's day-dreamed about making something and then when planning it in my head I realise I don't have the necessary tool for a particular operation. Then I can't get it out of my head that I need that tool/capability - even if that project is a long way off or I will never end up doing it. Knowing that you can / have the capability to do something allows you to enjoy planning/daydream on making it (and a million other things) even if you never do haha.

    Cheers, Dom

    Chambezio,

    My dear old Mum always said "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!""

    She's not a wood worker but might be in her next life!

    Cheers, Jeff

    you go to a good hand tool shop and realise you don't need anything

    Pure theoretical fiction. You've just described a factual impossibility.

    That's an impossibility.
