My name is Pete and yes I am a tool junkie.

How about he rest of you?

If I watch a video of a lathe tool that I don't own I immediately want one even if it has no place in the work I do. I just can't help myself. Often I can't afford the tools I want and make my one version. A couple of years ago a small metal lathe practically fell into my lap and now I can't stop my self from making tools for it as well. I find myself focused on the tool, not the end use and wind up making it and sometimes I eventually even find a use for it. I probably have 200 or more tools for my wood lathe and usually use about 6 or 7 BUT I do know the others are there if I ever NEED them.
