Tool envy?
Barry Irby
A friend asked me to help him making some small cabinets in my shop. (I have a 6" Rockwell Deluxe long bed jointer that is about fifty years old) He walked in and said "I really like your jointer, It's so compact.'
I also have a Nova DVR lathe with a bed extension. Another friend asked me to turn a bowl out of a prized piece of 10" redbud for his wife. He asked How are you going to do it? I pointed and said on the lathe. He said "Do you think that little thing will do it?"
I either need bigger tools or more tactful friends.
