No, really: I had a small project, turning one of these:
2x4 Before rfs.jpg

Into this (reinforcing block for a broken foot on my Granddaughter's cheap dresser):
2x4 After rfs.jpg

I used my bandsaw to make the through cuts, then a small pull saw to cut as much as possible of the pocket and started digging out a wood chisel to remove the rest of the waste. Then I remembered that I have this:
Bosch Multi-Tool rfs.jpg
It took longer to clean up the saw dust than to make the cuts.


If I can't remember what tools I have (even with my wondrous labelling system), I must have too many – which I guess is better than "two" (or more) many, like @mmcmdl.

Hey , I resemble that Chazz ! :big grin: My strategy is , if you put one of everything in every drawer , there's no need for labels . :D
 
For some reason I have two saws-alls. I barely need one.
 
That only works if you have 100 Vidmars (wait, I think you do!).
:grin: Only 4 . I have a major major major project coming up this fall . I'm getting my basement back down the other house . The daughter has to buy a house down near DC and all her furniture will be leaving . My plan is to take the equipment back down to the climate controlled basement along with whatever machinist crap . Just a mill , small lathe , maybe a few support machines . Then I can start going thru all the boxes and get rid of 90% of what is there . I'll be loaded up for the Fever this year for sure . :encourage:
