    Talking Gotta return the tool! (Stealth Gloat??)

    Wife tagged along to KC to pickup a PC sawsall and a Delta air cleaner that Jack Diemer had for sale. Picked them up on Saturday afternoon. Stopped by Woodcraft and picked up a few items (tables for dewalt 735 planer, chisel sharpening guide, misc). Got home and realized that the chisel guide has to go back since I will not need it. SWMBO saw me drooling over a Tormek master outfit and let it follow us home. Gotta love her!!!

    My wife will buy wood for me but refuses to go anywhere near tool stores. She thinks too many pets follow me home already.

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Good grief! That's like going to buy a blade and getting the whole saw with it! Yup, gotta' love her, that's for certain! Congrats! I don't have one, but have heard much, much good about it! Enjoy.
    Cheers,

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...

    Jim,
    If I were in your shoes I would take her out for dinner tonight. Great to have an understanding wife.

    WOW!!!,

    I could tell that your wife not only supported your hobby, but participated in it.

    That's great. By the way, the Overland Park economy thanks you for your visit, and welcomes you to come back soon!!!
    If at 1st you don't succeed, go back to the lumberyard and get some more wood.
