    Yea, and it sounds like Rob still has a lot more "stuff" up his sleeves based on some threads in the Neander section. LOL It will never end, I tell you!

    Yup, used to happen to me too, until I got a computer. Now I don't even get a chance to get some interest on my dollars, it's spent as soon as they post new items on the site .

    All at once

    My wife handed me all 3 of the following at the same time:
    1) Lee Valley
    2) Woodcraft
    3) Rockler

    Granted the Rockler one was from a couple weeks ago now, but still she's brave..... but she's one to do her Christmas shopping in July-Aug-September.

    Greg, for me, only #1 actually stays in-hand. The others go in the recycle bin at this point without even being opened. LOL The cover artwork on the Lee Valley catalogs makes them hang around, let alone all the wonderful "dreaming" available inside...

    Ain't it great. I'd pay money just to have the well written and beautiful catalog full of interesting tools. But, I get it for free and I can actually order things from it.

    I did read the description of the duct tape recently though, and I guess it can't hold down a rampaging elephant any more. I'll have to look for another product I guess.
