Sorry, Dave... it's too late...
even intervention from the group (like we're gonna stop you) is not effective at
this point...

As a favor, I'll store your power tools for you... that will make more space in
the shop for quality hand tools...

Somebody help me! Quick! I'm falling down into the abyss of neander
tool purchasing. Once was a time when I thought I'd do my woodworking
strictly with power tools. If it didn't plug into 110V or 220V it just
wasn't necessary.

Then I bought a Veritas LA smoother...

Then a Medium shoulder plane...sweet...even my wife thinks it's cool.

Than another plane, some chisels, better chisels, more chisels...

Another plane...

Damn Lee Valley

Damn Rob Lee

A scraper plane...this has got to stop...

Damn Lee Valley...another plane

Damn Rob Lee...and another one

oh no! ANOTHER Veritas plane...tonight...just when I thought Fedex was
done for the day...Damn Lee Valley

Got a contour plane too...deeper into Neander territory...somehow the
little stuff seems cooler than the big iron. I'm I losing it? Have I
gone over to the dark side of HAND TOOLS??? Will my Unisaw refuse to
start up next time I need a dado because it saw me grinnin' and
a-planing; grinnin' and a-planing...

At least there's a limit for me on power tools since I have pretty much
maxed out my shop. neander tools can always be tucked away in a drawer
or cabinet and I've plenty of those...so far...when will it end?

Damn Lee Valley

Damn Rob Lee

somebody help me...before I start taping the Woodwright Shop...oh no!!

and I haven't even STARTED to collect gouges yet...

Damn Lee Valley
