    Just curious . . . . how many t bevels

    are hanging your shop wall.

    I was just browsing and came across t bevels and thought "I need one".
    Then I remembered I have one, so I went to my shop and counted.

    I have five hanging on the wall.

    I bet I am no the only woodworker that does this.

    SWMBO gets after me when I do it.

    Is there a tool you have too many of?

    Probably have about 10 of them lying about. There are 3 I like, all of them are the old Stanley #18 style.

    Two Stanleys. One in the shop and one in the carpentry box. I tend to use them more for carpentry than woodworking. I'd actually like to pick up one or two more Stanleys for carpentry, so I can have more than one angle set at at time. For woodworking I usually grab a Starrett bevel protractor.

    Apparently I hoard tablesaws. According to my wife, which is why she isn't going to be allowed in the shop again for a while.

    You hoard table saws? I think most people can get by with just five.

    Lol, 5??? My wife said something like that! There is a guy in my town who had a Dewalt hybrid saw sitting outside for years. Could see it slowly dying every time I went by. My hoard, (or fleet?) is mostly better stuff and I like to think I saved them from a similar fate. On a side note, if anyone needs to get rid of an older cabinet saw, I guess I'm interested...

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...

    I have only three. Two of them are old made in the USA Stanley's that I have had since new. Both have been used on jobsites and proudly display their age. The other is a larger size Johnson with a 10" stainless blade and a genuine imitation walnut handle. This is a really nice T bevel for larger stuff. Even has the Johnson logo laser cut into the handle.

    Me too. I used to have one that was my dad's. I have no idea where it got off to. I have a couple of combo squares with protractor heads that I use if needed.
