My post above was just a gentle tease. I know I have more tools than I really need and in many ways envy your self discipline there but I have enjoyed exploring the merits of different tools eg LN 51/2 vs my grandfathers Norris vs HNT smoother and in the process have come to a greater understanding and proficiency. I could now do all my work with the 5/12 perhaps with 2 blades to the same standard although I'd miss the ability to reverse the blade on the hnt for scraping.
Looking at your clean and functional layout has promted me to go and sort out some of the clutter in my workshop and think through ways to improve layout and storage. So thanks for that.
