I just got a new Lee Valley block plane and added it to the spreadsheet I
have listing my tools. The plane brought it to $7007. You can get away
with a
lot less, you can spend a lot more.


This sounded like a good idea, Ed, so I just went and made myself a
spreadsheet, too. I've been meaning to go take digital photos of all my
tools, including the serial numbers, etc., but haven't had the
time/energy/motivation. Anyway, my list, just from memory so I probably
missed a lot, comes out at $14,265. Holy CRAP! And that doesn't count the
new truck I got at Christmas. 90% of that has been spent in the last 2
years, too. I think I need to talk to my insurance agent hehe.

You made me check how much I've spent on tools. Wow, since 1992, it's
$21,523.24. The winners a Crappy Tire with $4,252.13, Beaver
Lumber/Home Hardware with $3,541.29 and LVT with $2,020.23.

See, Robin, if you had had a store in Whitehorse, you woulda got most
of what I spent at Beaver and Crappy Tire and I woulda had better
stuff.

The biggest chunk I could identify was for power tool blades, bits &
accessories, followed by stationary power tools (both about $3,600),
$3,000 for hand power tools, $2,500 for hand tools, and $1,400 on
clamps.

Whew!
