Most of the time, the only reason behind having a shop like that is to
have a shop like that.


There is a lot of truth in that sentance. It is easy to end up with a
lot of extra tools though. Before my accident at work I operated out
of 4 different trucks so I accumalated a lot of duplicate tools just
so I wouldn't have to move them from truck to truck and sometimes I
could change trucks more then once in a day. I was working for an
electrical contractor so I needed a fair variety of tools. I suppose
I could get rid of some tools but I do enjoy them. All though unless
I go back to work I have no idea what I'll do with the dual trace
Ocilliscope. And it is handy at times to have an underground locator
ect. I just wish I had the patience to be so organized in storing
them. I'm also a little of the school of hiding it all from view to
not encourage people to visit when I'm not home. Friends give me a
bad time about living in a mobile home in the woods, but I just smile
knowing its been paid for for over 30 years and my property taxes are
about 1/3 of theirs.
