Tool Aquzition Sindrome

[Don1966]

Am I the only one that has what I call "Tool aquzition Sindrome". It seem like I can not stop buying tools. The old credit cards gets a good work out every month. Every time I look at a tool catalog or browse through a tool web sites see something that I want or can use to make things easier for me. This is getting very addictive.

SWIMBO has been accusing me of that for years... :

Since when has it become a problem?

The more tools you have, the more problems you can solve...

 

[steamer]

yup

Before I joined this forum I was clean, now at the tender age of 19 I can honestly say that I am an addict :-[
Thanks alot guys! :
That being said I do rather enjoy having said "Tool acquisition Syndrome" ;D

It becomes a problem when SWMDBO as pointed questions like, "Where is that handbag you promised to repair the latch on?"

Found it, (luckily still wrapped in plastic), under a stack of old towels I keep for rags. I knew I'd put it somewhere to let the epoxy fully cure.

WHEW :-* :-* :-*

 

[speedyb]

yup

What strikes me the most is.....your workbench. Looks like a great design. Did you build it ?

Don what you need is a CNC retrofit project to really get you going. You'll need a 2nd or 3rd credit card to feed all the hidden costs!

 

[Don1966]

Hell Dickeybird i am already on my second and third credit card. ;D
Sure glad I am not alone here LoL!

Steamer: It's nice to see you've balanced Tool Aquzition Sindrome with Space Allocation Disorder. Can anyone out there say with a straight face
" Can't think of another tool I need or want." Roger

 

[Tin Falcon]

Space Allocation Disorder.

That is just SAD ;D

Gee Dave that is one collection of drawer space, I like it. I need to get orginized like that. Can you jam any more in there LOL!!

Don

 

[steamer]

Now....and in addition....

Ooh! Dave that Soutbend is looking real good. I still haven't decided which lathe to get yet, but I will decide before the year is over. New doesn't mean anything now days, the quality is gone. I just want something rigid and worth the price you pay for it. Grizzly will probably be where I buy it.
I also just purchase a horizontal band saw for Grizzly take a look http://www.grizzly.com/products/5-x-6-Metal-Cutting-Bandsaw-w-Swivel-Head/G9742. That is one machine I do like it cuts metal very well. I tested it on a 4 x 4" iron bar it cuts nice and straight. I also converted my vertical band saw to variable speed that helps a lot.

I know what you mean Don....The SB turned into more project than I was hoping it would be , but I think it will be worth the money and effort in the end.
That's a nice saw! Most used tool in my shop is my ubiquitous 4x6...gotta be 15 years old now.

Running out of space in the basement
is serious cause of concern!!!!!

Kevin,

Is there any chance of a close up of your air tool rack or dimensions, as I need to make one fairly soon as I am still doing a reshape of my workshop and my air tools are taking up precious shelf space.

In exchange, I will send you to a post on how I hang my piston toolpost holders using nothing more than a bit of brown stuff and a few 1/4" bars.
