Well I can tell you're all terribly anxious that these fine saws should have a good home to go to, and frankly I agree - it'd be a shame to only see their narrowest profile. But d'you really want to hear of yet more long-term, hardly-ever-reaching-fruition plans of what I'd like to do in terms of tool storage? Obviously there
is a plan. The great and the good shall find themselves in one tool cupboard, showing themselves (hopefully) to advantage while, more importantly, being handy for use. But after a year when project completion has reached an all-time low (and that's really saying something) planning ahead seems somehow unwise.
But I will try and finish that damn saw till before January. Really I will. I mean there's the whole of December to do it in, isn't there...? Okay, so March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, and probably November (hey, there's still a day...) passed untroubled by any work on same, but I have confidence.
Self-delusion is a wonderful thing.
Don't be too hard on yourself. I've been known to say things like "I can build that bookcase in two weeks...honest!" (A year and a half later, it was done.)
ReplyDeleteA year and a half? Would that I were so speedy...
ReplyDeleteI sure feel for you, Alf. My shop project list has long been neglected in favor of more mundane requirements like yard work and dishes. The times when I would be getting shop work done are often filled with reading your blog, which makes me feel better about the whole thing ;)
ReplyDeleteAs long as you have a plan to show the more beautiful parts of those saws, you have quelled my angst. Can't wait for the finished saw till so I can start watching for tool cabinet posts.
