Tools and shop

Welcome to Scott's Shop

I build stuff every once in a while. Lately I have been obsessed with tools and setting up my shop. I decided that the right way to do it is to list everything I want (and have) in a spreadsheet. List exactly what I want and then pick stuff off one by one. Otherwise you end up like I used to be, buying tools when you “need” them and then settling for what you can get right then. Then you wish you had the one you really wanted every time you pick up what you have. The other cool thing is that you can show the list to your significant other and they can get you what you want for Fathers Day or Christmas.
