Is this a phase I am going through, or is it all over??
I have my gar....shop setup with all the tools I think I will ever need,
built a few projects, nothing to fantastic, cabinets for our bathroom,
stereo cabinet, and some other piddley stuff. I am in the process of
building a desk for my daughter, but fail to get out there to finish it!

Then today I fellow and I were talking tools, and he asks me if I want to
sell my jointer that I bought a year ago. I had to think about it, I still
don't know what the answer is!
Will this go away, or am I doomed?!

I think it's a natural process... you've probably been too focused on
it for too long and your brain is telling you to "get a life"...

DON'T sell any tools!! Just put your shop and all projects on hold for
a bit...

Tell your daughter that you'd rather spend quality time with her than
be in the shop working on her desk... no matter what age she is, she
should be suitably impressed.. if not, take the wife out for an adult
beverage or 3 instead..

The mind is a weird and wonderful thing.. if, as I suspect, you have a
real love for woodworking, it will be in the "back of your mind" and
you'll eventually either come back to the shop with the old interest
and energy, or decide that it just isn't your thing anymore (which is
ok, too) and then decide if you want to keep or sell the tools..

damn... starting to feel like Dr. Phil here...
Maybe you just need to have a beer and get laid?? *lol*
