Are you really a woodworker?

[4nthony]

Guilty as charged.

I have definitely gotten half way home with my safety glasses still on my face, saw dust in my pockets and my tape measure still clipped on.  [big grin]

Lost a pencil that I just had? absolutely, then I find them in a group later.
Leave my tape measure over on the table saw....guilty.
10mm socket? yes, and I have spares just because of it.
Last week I lost a 15" Crescent wrench for 3 days. It did turn up though. How do you lose something that big?

 

[shanegrilah]

Own twelve tape measures, can only locate two at any given time.
Two scrap bins, one for regular scrap and one for the "good" scrap.
Several empty router bit boxes/cases. Where'd the bits go? No clue.
Set of 3 chisels for rough work. Only can find two. Been missing years but still an unsolved mystery.
Can't find 12 inch floor attachment for shop vac.  Should be in basement but despite several searches and purchase of new one, it hasn't revealed it's location.
Safety glasses with bifocals are to be found anywhere but in the shop.
The twelfth cut after eleven too long fuzz cuts will make the piece completely unusable.
Mitered trim is cut perfectly until nailed to the wall.
Only remember what tool you wanted in the basement until after returning to the first floor.

to those with unorganized screwdrivers...
all you find are flat when you need phillips, find phillips when you need flat

Apart from tapes, the one that kills me is my little 150mm rules, I have bought probably several dozen over the years but I'm lucky if I can find 2 at any time. Never been able to work that out, as I'm usually pretty good with keeping things in set places.

Wera has the cure for that, but "audience participation" is required  [big grin]
Two regular sloted, a #1 Philips, #2 Philips, #1 Robertson, #2 Robertson and I added a #2 Pozidriv
all right there in my face, hard to lose, easy to put back.

I’m a second fan of the Wera screwdrivers, I have the set that CRG has mounted on the over arm dust collection tube extended over my tablesaw.  I filled the extra hole in my set with a #3, as that is one I use regularly, I’ve considered buying an empty holder to fill with other drivers like the #4 that I just laying flat between the others presently.

I like mounting a tool holder to the lid of the tool box that obviously has never and will never be closed. Looks just like mine, though I haven't gone so far as to mount things to it...yet.

 

[Crazyraceguy]

I close and lock it every night [member=7266]jeffinsgf[/member] the strange paradox of not locking my Systainers in any way, though there is a camera facing right at them.
The way those holders work, allows them to hang horizontally as well as vertically. There just needs to be space underneath them. I did have to move the ETS over to the left a little.

 

[jeffinsgf]

That's cool. I would have thought they would flop right out. We sell those and have a couple in the shops. I was always a little disappointed in the fit.

I feel like I'm related to everyone in this thread, like maybe we're long lost brothers.

I don't think I have ever used a #4 Philips in my entire life. What do you use it for?

 

[rst]

I used them for automatic door operators, some European manufacturers use them. Occasionally commercial heavy glazing installations use them.  Also floor hydraulic actuators often 5/16” with #4 Philips

Also, some automotive door lock latches are retained with #4 Philips. Think of the potentially tremendous forces exerted on the door latch during a crash when the doors are designed to stay shut and keep the occupants safe.

Hey Jeff! When is the Rout-n-plan board mill going to be ready to ship?  I ordered one about a month ago...  [smile]
