I don't think he heard about the 100 tool limit

He obviously doesn't have a Big Green Shed nearby,you never know when you need that extra Plane or a 100 do you.
Very nice thanks for posting.

He had a '100 of each thing' limit, but he wasn't always rigorous.
...I'll just make the other bits smaller.

... Do you think they'll ever get through 'sorting out' to 'using' ? Originally Posted by crowie

WOW!
I bet he had a sense of humour, look at that polka dot chisel handle?
I don't know about you guys but, to me, $35k seems cheap and even more so if the power tools are included? We've all seen those chisels offered at $50 a piece, planes at $150 etc etc ....
Someone has got the results of a lifetime's obsession!
flettya rock is an obsolete tool ......... until you don’t have a hammer!

7 pickup truck loads, and 3 26' box truck loads, and that's only 60% of the small stuff, and 20% of the power tools! And has to get a moving company to get the large heavy equipment. Wonder what a 26 foot truck load of cast iron and steel weighs?

I think going down to that basement would be like Scrooge McDuck diving in his money vault.
... possibly followed by ... "I know I had one here somewhere ..."
