Desert Island
Here's a late night one for you
If you could save only 5 handtools from a sinking boat, which ones would you choose to take to the desert island? Why....?Andy Mac

Assuming it's not a desert island, but rather a deserted tropical island.
2x Tomahawks - the all-purpose tool. Hammer, splitter, axe, plane, chisel. You can build a log-cabin with just these!
Bowsaw - who wants to fell a tree with a tomahawk? And it'd be nice to have square ends...
Bowie Knife - there's more to life than woodwork. Ever tried skinning a rabbit with a tomahawk?
Flare-gun - to flag down passing vehicles so I can order more tools...

a posthole digger; can dig holes for uprights for the log cabin as well as $h1tpits and wells for drinking water
and lastly a good hammer cos eventually you are going to want to hit something

Well I definitely need a dovetail saw. I am sure I will catch one to cut its tail off.
And I would still prefer 4 power tools thank you very much.

I'd take most of the above but with the addition of an oil stone so I could sharpen all my cutting implements.
I wanted to become a brickie but my old man said "No son, learn a trade."

Wot? No rocks lying around on your island? :eek:
Don't worry, there'll be plenty of time to learn how to hone with coral...
