I was noodling around on the net tonight looking for ideas or
replacement edge protectors for my chisels, because more than one
of mine have disappeared. I found all kinds of ideas that had
varying degrees of interest for me and then I stumbled onto this
piece of absolute genius. This one fellow suggested cutting strips
of above ground swimming pool liner to the needed width for the
chisel in question. Absolute brilliance, I realized. Clearly
genius! Then I saw who posted this - years and years ago.... me...

`And sometimes we're not.
I have had a rough day.

I just cut the wrong side of something.
I f'd up a drawer front too today.
I couldn't figure out sketchup to do a dust bin for the saw.
Then I had a brain fart while calculating the angles, and sizes...

Glad that you're a genius... I was a half wit today.

No Jeff - I WAS a genius - all those years ago. I came up with that
great idea and then somehow forgot all about it. Today - not so
much genius.


You are no less genius today that you were then! You just don't
remember why you quit using the pool parts as your chisel protectors.

I think most of the protective tips get lost because they come off
inside a drawer. I have seen a tip to glue a rare earth magnet to the
protector so that it does not come off with out some effort.

Well, actually, these did work pretty well. I just really and truly forgot
about them. Don't try to overthink this Leon. I quit using them because
somewhere along the way I came upon a couple of the sizes I needed that were
factory protectors and they looked better. Once I got back to the point
where I had again lost one or two, I was back to looking for a decent
solution.



Ok, I understand now. I was not aware that you had temporarily found a
better choice. Now it all fits in to place nicely!
