This is sort of a "Dear Abby" post. Just wondering if there is any unwritten rules with lending out handtools? I taught a friend how to carve using my tools. Now he wants to borrow them for a his next project!? I'll lend out a garden hose or shovel but these things are expensive and can be ruined under the wrong hands. Of course, I dont want to be a jerk and say "no"....
Does anyone here lend out tools? I would never ask a skilled craftsman to lend me thier tools but this guy doesnt understand what the big deal is.
Thanks!
