>Little hint Roy, you are perfectly sane.

The rest of us seem normal, but that is only because we have all dropped over the edge and gone crazy.

We are all crazy, that is why we all seem so normal. But you, Roy, are normal. That is why you are going so crazy.

Just wait until you start justifing your purchases with the idea of re-selling on eBay. You don't have a real problem, until you justify yourself into a real problem.

HAHAHAHAHA

It's O.K. Roy...I'll talk you down...

Scott Burr in Ben Lomond CA

>First off it's ok. Take a breath breath... OK, Another...Easy now, this might be hard�

but it's the cold hard truth...

Roy you can't handle your tool addiction, you�re in denial, and I might add over your head. I can help, your lucky I'm here (start packing your planes). It's ok...trust me...you'll get over it. If you want to. You do want to do, don't you Roy?

Here's what you need to do (I know it's sounds crazy, but your the crazy one, and that's why I'm here) Pack them all up a send them to me. I know,

I know� it sounds crazy (pack them up Roy), but better me than you(Roy get packing). I've been here before and I know it can be rough(why aren't you packing Roy). I�ll take of them while you seek help(pack them Roy, your loosing it). It's ok takes another deep breath(pack), again(pack), good...

Now get packing Roy (you should be done by now...)

Man, your in deeper than I thought (pack dude, pack...)

Don't fight it - buy another..

NOBODY so far has a real problem,

Now, when you start buying unusable planes for parts you MIGHT need at a later date, but until then, you're OK.

>Roy if you haven't thought about cashing in some of your retirement money for tools your still OK. Now if your making those panther head saw's in your shop I WANT ONE. Good laugh Jim

Cure?

Todd O. Cronkhite Native of Maine

>The only cure I am aware of is death, and I'm in no hurry to be cured. ;~)

I wouldn't worry about this addiction Roy as there are far worse addictions to have. At least with this one if nothing else you can get most of your money back if not more and that AFTER you've enjoyed the tools for years and years. That's like a sore wee-wee-- you can't beat it.

Passing on a Panther head? Bro, you are crazy. ;~)

Todd O.

oh boy

>Todd, you owe me a new key board and monitor if I can't get all of this beer off the keys and monitor screen. However, I'll settle for the panther saw. LOL

Now just wait a guldarned minute here... 'Unusable planes for

parts' are better described as parts planes and of course you are

going to buy them if they are cheap enough. You'll want a supply of

lever caps, chipbreakers, those little brass knob thingies on the

ends of the tote and knob screws, y-adjusters, totes, knobs, frogs

and so on. 'Cause sooner or later you will run across a Type 11

low-knob 3C with a missing part and you will ruthlessly haggle down

the price of the plane to chump change secure in the knowledge that

you have just the spare part in your inventory.

Parts is parts.

: ) ...help. I'm a woodaholic...

Tim of San Leandro

>I like tools, don't get me wrong. I love fine tools.

but I think I've overdone the wood....400 sq ft garage shop with about 1000bf of various woods stocked in there.

These are the woods I can remember I have:

Amapola, Angico, alder, poplar, white oak, red oak, hard maple, euro beech, madrone, black walnut, jatoba, purpleheart, port orford cedar, genuine mahogany, south american alder (I've no idea on this one...it is just what the lumberyard called it....it is QS and looked interesting and the price was right)....and the requisite construction grade stuff..I gotta do home improvement stuff too!

>As long as you can store it properly ,in my opinion,you can never have too much wood. Furniture grade wood is one thing that improves with age. You should always be able to sell any surplus you have if you decide to move to fantasy island and die on the beach.---Crackerjack
