What is wrong with me!

I still need to get a head knife or a round knife, I'm still using my trusty utility knife.

I have developed a 12 step program for the tool junkie.....aka.....tool whore

1. get a box......or several as the case may be

2. go to your leather working area

3. take a seat.......this may take a while!

4. carefully pack ALL of your tools in the box / boxes

5. put my name and address on the box ....PM me for address!!

6. take the box to your nearest post office

7. apply proper postage to the box

8. give the box to the post office worker

9. get back in vehicle and drive home

10. turn on computer

11. delete all pertinent information regarding leather

12. grab a beer, sit in front of the TV

Congratulations!!! your cured!!!

If you have a relapse.........repeat steps over and over again until symptoms stop!!

Hey, it works, so no complaining....LOL

All of the reasons to collect tools are valid.

How could anyone get enough? I have tools in places I can no longer find, sooooooooo, I must buy another to take the place of the one that is temporarily lost.

Stands to reason that we must do this quite often and as we age, we have more of a valid excuse for the illness.

Never mislaid, just put safely away until I find it again. Have to keep things secure and placed where they won't become damaged. I have many tools that are still in original packaging, never used because I put them away in such a secure manner that I have not stumbled upon them for some time. Many days are like discovering a hidden treasure, when I do locate those hidden items. Makes life a bit more exciting.

Some folks go treasure hunting but all I have to do is open some cabinet that I have not been near for awhile and I find "treasure" therin. When you do things in this manner, no excuse is needed when you want to purchase another "special" tool that you just have to have. I even have a few that came in lots I purchased that I don't know what they do but they are, "neat", and needed, someplace I haven't discovered yet.

Bet I'm not the only one that operates in this manner. ckl.

God Bless Y'All.
