I do not buy things to just buy them. There are some things I would love to have if $$$ were no object and some of them would be power tools and bigger shop and nicer hand tools like several years ago someone posted pictures of Hamler tools which I reallllllllllly like and some of the planes that Lazarus makes and shows here once in a while.
I want the tools to work without much effort and work like advertised or even better. Even a few handsaws that whisper thru wood and cut straight and smooth and look great. All the tools I would get would be users with the only exception of OLD planes and other hand tools to give them the respect they deserve thru all the years of their labors.
To me I have a Huge respect for tools and that is why I take care of the ones I have and also that others have given me.
Arlin, no disrespect intended...
The entire post was intended to be a flight of fancy, "If cost were no object..."
Miss T and I have gotten where we are today by doing just as you say. The Corps taught me that, her mother taught her the same.
I have often said the tool most priceless to me in MY shop is the old block plane that was my stepfather's... I'm sure it has little cash value to anyone else, but it means everything to me.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man -
By the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
