I own about 80 tomato baskets. These are the conical wire supports that

experience failure by having one of their welds break. I segragate them and
eventually they meet with my OA welding torch and get a new lease on life.
SWMBO says I should simply buy new baskets. Most of them are at least 20
years old, back when you could buy them for $ 0.50 each. I refuse to pay
$1.79 and up for new ones. Cheap? I would rather spend the money on
welding gas.


You have tools. You need to justify having them. Did you have better things to do?

Now if you are a rich investment banker that could just buy a gross of baskets with what
you tip your masseuse, I'd still tell you to use your tools, obviously you need
diversions.
