+1 -- actually tool collector also fits...

Yeah, see, that's where the "serious" in "serious amateur" comes from...it doesn't imply skill or experience or dedication. :)

+1 here also.  She is always telling me that I'm a tool collector.  I'm glad I'm not the only one with a wife that thinks that way.
 
Full time pro here and serious tool nerd that needs to get out more. Already thinking about the next Festool purchase and I don't really need it, I should be saving.

+ 1 and please after I die do not sell My Festool stuff for what I told you  I paid for them.  [big grin]
 
I have to fess up to the fact that besides being a serious tool buyer, I have a very full lumber rack with about 600 bf of rough lumber, my supply is getting low [eek]

Thanks Paul [wink]

My biggest problem is that I have very large timbers that I refuse to cut up until I have that just right project [big grin]  It better come soon or the wood will go to it's original purpose - I got these timbers from a Brazilian that ran a casket manufacturing company and he got the wood from his family in Brazil.  He went out of business and I purchased some very nice rough cut 8/4 stock 20' long x 24" wide.
 
I might have to make a trip, Jack... I'd hate for you to fret over all that excess.

Thanks Tom,  I'm sure I'll manage to eventually make wood chips with most of my inventory [big grin]  Recently however, my search for replacement walnut and mahogany caused a bit of "sticker shock" from what I had been used to paying [eek]

BTW, The Platin 2 pads are really great for refurbishing my Acura MDX headlight covers [big grin] I hope to get to my fireplace soon.
