    Yeh, sharp is the key. I think my dad used to drag a rock down the blade to dull it to keep us kids busy longer.

    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    Got a bunch of tools from my dad last week. One hand drill probably 1970s manufacture, already have a nice one that is probably 1930s, a couple of nice chisels, and a TON of assorted size c-clamps. Some are very old, and have "mouse ears" on the screw rather than a bar that I'm accustomed to. Don't know who the really old ones belonged to, I spent my entire childhood in my dad's studio full of tools, and I've never seen them in my life.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Got everything except the battery and circuit testers. Never even thought of those.

    Sniper sorry I could not find one either on their website. However they have some hanging on the wall in back. At least a couple of weeks ago. Lehmans is probably closer to you.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    I have 8 of the 10 tools described in the article. I do not have a manual grinder, nor do I have a scythe. I guess that is pretty good for a guy raised in the middle of suburbia. I suppose that I can use hand files for sharpening instead of the grinder.

    hand files take so long to sharpen something when you have to put a completely new edge or bevel on it. I just reshaped my double bit axe head and I still have more I want to do on the cheeks of it but my arms were too tired even after doing just one side.

    Not like a conversation in person, with facial expressions, body language, tone of voice.

    Still, we here pretty much slide along without issues.
    Imagine how well we could get along in person.

    Or, we would just think each other is a bunch of assholes
