I have walked Madison our 90 pound black Labrador Retriever and I am not ambitious so I walked into my garage shop and started looking.
I counted :
4 tri squares
4 speed squares
3 adjustable squares
16 handsaws
24 bar clamps
5 hand screw clamps
and . . . . ...
You get the picture, I did not list my power tools.
I have a wall rack with dried boards that are various species.
This is ridiculous,
I'm sure that I am the only old woodworker like this.
SWMBO needs to give me project.
Lowell,
I would not worry about it. Everyone has to start somewhere. I am certain that sooner or later you will eventually build up to the number of hand tools you would like to have if you keep on the same path.
One key: do you know how many hand saws that you would eventually like to build up too?
(Just kidding.)

Also, when I'm doing a swmbo project, everything is better.
Lowell, your bar clamps sound about right but your hand screw clamps need some work, I have 26.
A steam bent laminated teak project should push you in the right direction!
I only have four hand screw clamps, but when I need them I am happy I have them.
Just wait. You won't find any of them at the time you need them.
I was going to walk Madison this morning but, it is raining. We get that a lot here in Galveston County Texas.
She is lying in the floor at my side.
She is a sweet Black Lab.
You post about your dog, and post no pics of your big sweetie?
-2 internets for you.

It sounds like you are a little short on clamps. :DQuote:
