Everytime I have the need, (or desire) to purchase additional Woodworking Tools, I encounter absolutely NO resistance from the LOML. We have been married 18 years, and it has always been this way. Am I in the Minority here? She realizes that my veins run rich with sawdust, but no matter what the request, she never has a problem with it. I have many friends who have great wives, but I am always hearing the stories of how they got chewed for buying this or that. I realize that I am fortunate to have such an understanding and unselfish mate, but I was just wondering how much resistance, or lack thereof, others encounter when the subject of tool purchase arise. To SWMBO, it doesn't matter if it is a $10 item, or a $1000 item, her response it always the same. Of course, I don't take unfair advantage of the situation, but I have just about anything my heart desires in my Shop. Of course, SWMBO loves the things I build for our home. I was just curious to see the responses of my fellow "Creek Waders" on this subject. I though it may provoke some interesting conversation?
