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?!

The answer to this is pretty much dependent on where you live. If, for
instance, you live anywhere near Pittsburgh, PA, then you are
completely sick of woodworking and will never enjoy the hobby again.
In that case you need to sell your tools immediately and for a great
loss. You MUST NOT sell any of them to a friend or a neighbor as you
will then constantly see them and be reminded of your dislike for
woodworking. As a favor, I will take them off your hands and not even
charge you for transportation or nuthin'.

On the other hand, if you are far from Pittsburgh, then you just need
a break or you need to build something for YOU. Do some project that
is not needed and not "rational" but that is kinda cool. Build a
present for a friend or co-worker who doesn't expect it so that they
can give you lots of WOWs and THANKS and "You MADE this ?!!!!".

But I really hope you live near Pittsburgh.
