Power Tools!

a reply to: taoistguyJust wait until you find a use for nail guns to build things, or a regular drill for drilling holes into anything except brick and concrete. But safety is first, ALWAYS. Be sure your hands and eyes are always out of the way of anything sharp.

The problem with power tools is that there is always the next one.

You will find youself salivating over your next "must have" tool and after saving up and owning it for about 10 minutes you realise that what you reall need is a ...

To explain this I really needed a router, after I got one I realised what I really needed was 2 routers so I could table mount one and have one for freehand use.

Then I realised that what I really needed was 3 routers because some bits are only available with a half inch collet.

Now I reaslise that in an ideal world 4 routers would be better as I could get round to making a router copier lathe.

Now with 5 routers I could also make a horizontal table for certain tasks and with 6 I could always have one with a roundover bit to save having to change bits all the bloody time.

It's the same with drills. cordless drill, SDS drill, Cordless SDS drill, pillar drill. Pillar drill with Morticing attatchment...

The reason some people earn money by making things is simply to buy more tools.
