You know your a "old" tool junkie when you read this thread and think "damn I thought this was going to be about tools not mailboxes."

While we are on a tangent, dad had a old worn out 16" 4-jaw chuck. We talked about using it for a base for his mailbox. Decided that might be too much. Later buried a 6" wood post about 4 foot in the ground. As far as I know, no one has hit to this day! I guess a 6" wood post is more noticeable???

What do you do when you run out of room for tools and machines and you still find things to buy?

Never mind the 1/4 in mailbox...

You loose sleep at night, designing tooling for your next project. (no stock on hand, etc. ) Then the next day, you are awaiting a call back, can't run the shop till the phone call is over. (that's right now)

Me too John! But as they say "age and treachery will overcome youth and enthusiasm!" That is why if I was in a bind for some material like T Bredehoft, I would be out cutting up some of those mailboxes!

You collect tooling for a machine you don't even own yet.

Man, does that ever hit home.
