hi, i sometimes think its an obsession with tools!!!!

i'm always making something for me bikes and odd jobs for others (brings a bit of cash in to help pay for more tools!!)

i get a kick out of showing the "oh its a hooby lathe" types what sort of jobs you can do them!!

I believe the answer is that the shed is too small, You can never have too many tools. :D

Welcome to the forum, grab a  :coffee: and pull up a chair. If you are like most of us you will end up with  :proj:.

But not to worry, we will help you thru it. :)

Jimmy,

If you can stand in your shop and be able to turn yourself thru 360 degrees and reach everything, then it isn't too small, just a compact, bijou residence for your tools.

Just join in the fun, and have a grin at not only other people, but yourself as well. We love to see classic blunders, it brings us into the real world sometimes.

Hi Jimmy...


I've already seen you name around on other posts (not been to active chatting of late though!)

I'm just getting a few Hi's in before the pub tonight  :)





I'll sooner or later speak to you in a post somewhere :thumbup:
