If everybody on this list fessed up about the drawer full of "magic"

OK, I'm in:

Dremel kit. Nothing wrong with it, but I've almost never used it.

Incra jig. Played with it, even wrote software to generate custom
templates. Didn't like the results.


If I had the money, I would have a shop full of Festool just because
I want my estate sale to be interesting.

I'll definitely go. Please let me know when you die.

...and make sure you understate the cost of the stuff to your family so they
under price it at the estate sale.

No danger there if he has a wife. If she knows even half the cost of
most of the stuff and still lets him buy it she's a REAL keeper!!!
And if a guy is still breathing it's a slim chance indeed that he
has made his LAST dumb-ass purchace, if he's really honest about it.

I know I haven't, unless I die tomorrow, or shortly there-after.
