Then, I learn that I there was a better knife that I should have got, so I get that knife, too. 6 months later, I'm $5k into knifes that I won't touch because I don't want to spoil the almost-pristine edges that I spent 6 hours working on the night before, and now I'm thinking about which bikes I'm willing to sell in order to fund some bit of knife paraphernalia.
Speaking of selling stuff...Anyone want to buy a Universal Audio LA-610 Channel Strip with NOS vintage tubes?
Back when I was into making selfbows (bows made from a single piece, or at most 2 pieces of wood), I somehow got on the mailing list of a company that sells woodworker porn. I already had a spokeshave, two drawknives, and a set of flat steel scrapers, which is all most selfbowyers use, but it was fun looking through the catalogs, especially since I didn't have any intention of buying.
