i`ve noticed myself doing the "if only i had an xyz gizmo my life would be so much easier".....after a few years and many hundred gizmos and untold thousands of dollars i`ve realized that all it takes is some basic tools and lots of desire...
i no longer drool over the latest-n-greatest gizmos that show up in the mailbox all to frequently in glossy ink promising to shave either thought or labor from my endevors......
large equipment is one thing.....but a "gizmo" is anything that claims to be new and improved or a better way to skin the proverbial cat....wood can only be shaved,cut,or scraped in so many different ways.....same with measuring-n-marking...after a fellow assembles his basic arsenal it`s a matter of becoming comfortable with them not getting more "stuff" to be uncomfortable with.....
so those of you who are assembling your arsenals, buy the best you can and become comfortable with "it" before looking for the latest-n-greatest....
hopefully my ramblings will save a few folks some time-n-money.
