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!Quote:

PS: Is ten days sufficient respite between purchases?
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
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. :rolleyes:Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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