Ahhhh, THAT SWMBO excuse. I did that starting out. Now instead of buying a
$1500 t@b...&s@w from Delta or Jet all with one fell swoop of a credit card,
we buy 25 $60 saws from Disston or Atkins (well... originally from those
companies). Average price, or course. Maybe one $5 Disston and one $115
IT, that sort of purchase. It SEEMED like it was an economical tradeoff
originally, when we only had 3 saws, but NOW look at use. I am a fastidious
user, so no collector grade saw, but to get one for each function....
lessee, I'll go count. Wait one.
Yup, 24 saws. All differnt function. And I only need 2 more. A stair saw,
and a small panel saw. Sheesh.

can't say how, or why, but handtools have delighted me since I started
this.
Maybe it's the quiet, or the deceptively low entry price (which I'm
finding is a cruel joke), or ... something, but I just love 'em.
