   To Hell With What Others Have To Say I Want To Hear More

   from you about "Siblbings" and how you use them.

   Just when I think I have finally purchased all the tools I need I hear about this S i b l b i n g s.

   What is it ?

   Where do I get one ?

   And I was going to say how much does it cost but to heck with the cost.   I want one.  I simply have to be on the cutting edge of this craft.

   Ah . . . Oh Ha Ha Thank Goodness

     I would've liked to buy a new tool that I don't already have but not this day I see.

   Queenmasteroftheuniverseandbabybunnytrainer says I have enough tools and that I should, perhaps, now consider making something with them.

   She is always right you know. Quite right.

   same-sized siblings vs. Big Brother

   I'm of the opinion that the choices should be based on what the individual actually does, and the size of the boards commonly used to do what he/she does. That said, there is something to be said about having a big jointer - if it does what needs to be done in the doing.  ;-)

   Smaller jointers (my first was a small Delta 4") are pretty much limited to edge jointing, of course. Larger ones can also be used for flattening a slight cup, thereby avoiding hand planing. Quicker is slicker, they say, but that isn't always right. When I could afford it, I "graduated" to an 8" Inca (short bed) combo machine, which I still use. I look longingly at larger machines, especially ones with long beds, but simply don't have the room.
