And as I recall, more tools brings up the other problem of where do I put them...
Fortunately my addiction is tools. And as I walk around, or try to walk around in my shop I realize I don't have too many tools, but the ratio of tools to square feet of shop has to be increased. I picked up an 8 inch Grizzly jointer off Creg's list and promptly converted it to a spiral cutter head model. I've found that the mobile bases they sell don't really do a good job of moving tools on a wooden floor so I have done a bit of modifying and all my tools on rollers have 3.5 to 4 inch casters now. I can twist on the tablesaw and actually rotate it with 1 hand. Good thing too because I have to put it in strange places at times so there is room to use other toys... But keep after it and a little at a time you'll get those tools and also be able to say "Where the h*** am I going to put it..." ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Rossi To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Deck update. Bob, I can't remember at the moment which orbital sander I have. It was a cheapo from one of the big box stores though. I want all the tools. I want a drill press, a jointer, a planer, I'll settle for a combo jointer planer. A table saw. I want it all. Of course, I'll have no idea of what to do with the stuff. :-) Sadly, there is never enough money to go around, nor enough time to play with all the toys, and I've got a stupid full time job, and a travel addiction to deal with. -- Blue skies.
