Not a fair poll.
I spent time in the US in the past year and they have "BIG" tool shops over there. Do I have to include the excess luggage charges?

Around here, I am HWDAFAPL (He Who Does Anything For A Peaceful Life).
....AHHH ..... the peace and solitude of a workshop when the thicknesser is hogging out.
Bob,
You mistake a peacful life for a quiet one. A peaceful life is one where you are allowed to get on with what you want to do with the minimum of domestic disruption ;)
Well being self employed and what ever i but becomes mine anyway i would have spent near on $10K on tools last year, and im off for another spending speee soon once i get the cheque from the Insurance company. Some theiving brats made off with some tools in the garage, it was just a shame they took all my old crap and damaged gear. Even spotted some down smack convertors the following weekend
actually I knew exactly what you meant.
noise sometimes dissuades unwanted interuptions hence internal peace and quiet.
The option 'I don't know, I don't want to know, and nobody's going to make me add it up' is missing :)
Probably spent around $4000 with bathroom and kitchen renovation.
When we were first married I thought I had the last word at home then after the first year or so I realised I actually had the last two words "YES DEAR"
I wear the pants but the Leader Of The Opposition has impeccable taste when she chooses them for me.
Oh well
Bob:(
Silent C, doesn't SWMPG beat you around the head with her golf sticks for calling them golf sticks (or does she call your planes "cutting thingies"?)
Cheers,

I always get the last word at our place.... "Yes Dear"
Joking.... does a new shed for $22k count?
I can vouch for the trick where...
"You conceal your illicit purchase for a couple of weeks... "
Also, "Winning" it in a raffel or as a lucky door prize works if it can be bought out of a secret stash.
Golf sticks are for hitting balls, golf clubs are for playing the pokies and getting cheap drinks. ;)Quote:

She wouldn't know a cutting thingy from a drilling thingy from a banging thingy, so she just refers to anything and everything that happens in my shed as 'doing woodie stuff'. :)
What Daryl said.
Too many tempting timber auctions in my area but I reckon on about blowing about $4k on them along with replacement requirements.....still good to have an interest across all facets of the wood medium.
I reckon on "banking" as much timber as I can with retirement looming in the not too distant future,The one resource in the workshop that is becoming costly irrespective of where you live!
Cheers:)
