I seem to have an obsession for tools. My latest purchase is a complete set of knives and gadgets! This is on top of the online purchase not too long ago of the gigantic chisel set which I have not even started to use.
Why am I buying so many of these things? Obsession beyond belief.
My latest set of tools look so huge that hubby thinks I should have a log or wood stump to work on instead of puny one inch thick balsa wood! It’s just too funny. Tempting as it may be, I shot down the offer because this would then make the whole living room become a woodwork workshop.
And out of the blue, I feel I need a mallet to complement the new tools. I even picked one up over the weekend when we were at the hardware store but hubby told me that there’s an existing mallet in the office already and I should just bring that home.
Well, we’ll see how my usage of the new tools will be. But I need a bigger piece of wood…
Online shopping seems to be a new favorite thing to do between hubby and I. Just about every week or every other week, both of us are buying stuff online as if trying to outdo each other. I would look at carving tools to add to my supply and he, at air plants to add to his collection.
But the difference between our purchases are the sizes of the boxes/packages that the things arrive in. Mine comes in flat little packs while his are in big huge boxes except that one time when I ‘won’ hands down with the arrival of the big bean bag. On Tuesday, his latest purchase finally arrived.
Look at the size of the box!
It’s a blessing in disguise as today is yet another public holiday! There’s so much carving to do.
The last two balsa wood that I bought not too long ago are all carved up. So I need more and last weekend, I decided to buy four, double the usual two that I normally get.
Obviously there will be a boom in Gigglesville as one piece would yield 12 citizens; with four pieces, wow, busy days ahead for me! It’s just a matter of how much time I would take, not how many I can make.
And with the arrival of the new tools, busy days ahead indeed; the three day long weekend is most welcomed.
