  • I've just completed my annual tool audit (for insurance purposes). It's kind of depressing how many tools I have but I need them all. More worrying though is the fact that there are still lots of tools that I would like to buy and am in a perpetual mental excercise to justify these spendy purchases.

  • I kind of pride myself in a minimal tool collection. I hate the idea of owning something and not using it. That said my line of work doesn’t need that much. If I were working on site a lot I’m sure I’d have all sorts.

    I do like it when other people who make stuff come to our workshop and are like “uh, where’s all the tools? How do you make the things you make?”

  • Because of the variety of work I undertake I need to have loads of tools most get used often unless they've been semi replaced. Even specialised stuff like my timber framing slicks and chisels gets pretty heavy use.
