My problem with the round/head knife is it digs into the cutting surface.  I'm usually cutting on a long pine board.
What do you guys cut on?

MDF

Hope this helps

MDF

Never thought of that one...AND it's cheap. One could cover an entire benchtop for the cost of a decent small cutting board.

The other surface I use, is a type-specific, 2'x3' cutting mat. 5 ply pvc, self sealing. Good product, but I'll remember MDF for my next bench!

I find myself using a wide variety of knives. I love my round knife, my clicker, after learning the application for the bevel point knife, I really like it too. And I have I think six more knives on order at the moment.

Hi, I'm Matt, and I have a problem with knives....

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

That's only the start of the problem though, we all have that, and dividers, calipers, stitching wheels, makers,irons punches.

And on and on and on.

@Matt S Collects old BIG machinery (ok I am jealous of the splitting machine)

Dont even try to work out the ratio of sewing machines to forum members, I have 6 and don't think I have a problem. There are others on here that have way more.

I have so many rulers, squares and straight edges its scary.

Do you ever give yourself the feeling that you are a hoarder? I just have.

OK

@bikermutt07 and @hwinbermuda:

We're all "friends of Bill W" when it comes to tools.
Maybe there's a "Friends of Tim Allen 12 Step Program" somewhere...

Few in the UK would get that reference, but I was hooked when it was shown at stupid o'clock in the morning over here. Loved the unseen neighbour.
