Confessions of a Junkie

[Shelby]

Hello.

My name is Shelby, and I am addicted to powertools.

The simplest of household projects requires 4 or 5 powertools, one of which must be a circular saw.

I'm trying to get help for my affliction.

I am addicted to working with wood. But I only use power tools for cutting the stuff that starts with the prefix two-by and for ripping plywood.

I love the rythmic pleasure of sawing, and hand sanding, especially table legs.

Hell, I think I'll go do some woodwork now!

 

[Andra_Jenny]

And Yankee drills. I just love a good yankee drill!

And working with stains and such in enclosed rooms!

truthfully...

I am addicted to women - pleasing them, satisfying them loving them...
Please help...
The only problem is I am running out of women...LOL

Shelby.... I understand your pain...

For Christmas, I bought myself a new air compressor. Not one of those little "roll around" types.... but one of the big "sits in the corner of the garage and rumbles, and dims all the lights on the block when it kicks in" compressors.

Of course, now I spend my free time wandering the "air tools" sections of local Home Depots and Lowes. And I almost get an erection when I see a tire that needs a little air.....

Oh no. Flat tires absolutely require a hand pump! Tried blowing it up once without any tools. Damn tough job!

Mitre saws and boxes

I love trimwork! Cutting those 45's and fitting the smoothly and seamlessly together!

I really like my finish hammer. I keep it smooth and shiny!

Pssssst, hey guys, over here

Tell your wives you are attending a meeting of Powertools Anonymous and meet the rest of us powertool junkies at your local Sears Tool Departments, first Saturday of every month.

We got caught one month with Bob Vella and they turned it into a commercial.

Texan,

Ah, air tools. A necessity. Double the pleasure actually as they're usually overkill & you have to undo & redo.

Hint, get the small, portable compressor also. Fill the small one up at the garage, cart it to the house & viola...you're dangerous in the house also!

Shelby man...... is the pope catholic?...... of course I have the "portable" air tank. I mean, really, how many people would be addicted to cigarettes if they weren't "portable"?...

While the portable air tank is a necessity, I really prefer the "power" of the big compressor, so I have three hundred feet of air-hose. If I ever build a new house, I think I'll have the whole house "plumbed" with air lines and 3/8" outlets in every room.... now there's a dream house.....

I'm addicted to chili and/or a well cooked and thick, juicy steak
