Unusual Partner - Love her :)

[Skeety]

Very off topic really so posting it here....

Had a bit of a tool frenzy this week, as some of my stuff currently lives in the living room I need to swap boxes.

OK, So on Monday I went to the Festool Roadshow and returned with a Festool Domino 500 and the Systainer full of Dominos and cutters. Other half didn't bat an eyelid. Ordered another DeWalt T-Stak container that was delivered Tuesday to house my sanders as they didn't come with hard cases.

Wednesday- Bought a second hand DeWalt cordless Circular saw and an 18V finish nailer which I picked up on Saturday.

Got home and my partner says, I much prefer the look of the grey and green boxes to the yellow and black ones, can you buy the ones in the grey with green writing next time?

OMG, OK, She really does appreciate the things I make but after she has instructed me to buy more Festool over DeWalt I may propose

She won't like it when I tell her the Grey and Green is very expensive

She's a keeper,
My work bench is in my lounge "no joke" with all my tools!! Boxes and boxes and shelves full. I even have a sharpening and pillar drill set up in far corner.
My lounge isn't even that big (1 bed flat)
Not a problem to her but......




If I leave the toilet seat up or forget to close the fridge

when I got my lathe circa 18 months ago, it was ruddy freezing in the garage so I assembled it in the dining room, right next to the Christmas tree.....and proceeded to turn things in a sort of 2 week mad frenzy. Once I'd sanded a few things the fine dust was getting everywhere...only then did the request come to move it to the garage. Bless

When I buy something I use the wife pound conversion.

That means I just divide everything by 50% and then there is consistency and she is none the wiser. With a Domino you would probably have to use the 90% conversion rate though.

LOL. Have you noticed how there's usually a florist next door to an Axminster branch

Haha,
That's because after we buy flowers we need to get some man toys and be tough
