@RaisedByWolves

He was basically saying (and this is my interpretation based on a similar saying) that your journey to the best via the average often starts with a waste of money on a poor tool / poor tooling.

Yeah, Still confused...

Yall are a wordy bunch.

We call it "Buy once, cry once".

These guys must have studied shake spear or something.

If their not careful they may use up all the words and have to run out for more.

Not going to argue! Then again often use,one or two words where others use several, though we do have som "wordy" (as you put it) "phrases" or "sayings".

Language be like that doe, I work in a small city with lots of utes and immigrants so I get all sorts of languages on a daily basis. Conversing with people of a different culture sometimes comes down to point and grunt as accents and for the love of god....Pidgin English come into play.

One of our best mechanics is from Haiti, speaks French (primary language), English, pidgin and creole. When he gets on a roll I cant understand a word of his English.

Anyway, the tool post in question was a cheap buy to see if that style or post would be to my liking for short money vs buying the PeWe at 4x the cost and finding out that I dont care for the style.

It works, but just not for me or my expectations.

I'm too lazy and always wanting to get it done so, 20 mounted tools and 3 floaters. Mostly Shars when they put them on sale.
