Found I had 3 more woodworking books I can let go: <snip>
Just some comments.
I don't know anything about the first book, so nothing on it.
The other two, somewhere along the line I seem to recall thumbing
thru both. Don't recall if the library, boodstore, used bookstore, or
where. I would say they're well worth the price. If I had a need, or
desire, I'd have already e-mail about them. But, I don't, so I didn't..
Hell, for all I know I might own both already. I've got a personal
library most of you probably wouldn't believe, and about 99% of it was
got used. I'm slowly going thru the back room, and finding stuff I
don't even remember ever looking at, let alone buying. LMAO Hmmm, I
might go this route on some of the stuff too, rather than going with
eBay. I've got a lot of books i'll never use (but a lot of those are
"dream" books, about stuff you know damn well you won't be making, even
if you live to be 200, and have mega-bucks - those books you sit and
look thru and just "dream" - so a lot of those I'll be keeping,
regardless). At least that way they'd go to someone I almost know, and
have a btter chance of getting used.

I think 50% or more of my woodworking and model ship building library is
this way, but it sure is fun to dream.

I figure you've gotta have dreams, and they seem to be in about 3
stages:
FIRST, is things you know for a fact you can do, but just haven't gotten
to yet.
SECOND, is things you're pretty sure you can do, but you may not have a
chance to try - lack of money, time, space, whatever. Or you try, and
screw it up; but, In that case you just say, "Damn, thought I could do
it. Ah well.", and move on.
And, THIRD, is things you know you'll never be able to do, period, but
you still dream about them.
A goodly portion of mine are SECOND category now, mostly because of
a lack of space and money, and a non-lack of bad joints. But, still
have a few of THIRD category dreams left.

I suspect that depends on whether you still do woodworking 'cause it's
cheaper than buying the equivalent quality (a questionable assertion at
times, mind you), or whether you've transitioned to doing it because it's a
fun hobby. I s'pose there's a few people that started in the latter box
from the beginning, but I wonder how common they are, aside from those for
whom it's in the family.

I'm a "hands-on" person so I'd like to try it both ways before I decided. I
know what the NON filthy rich part is like... ;-)

After you pay for the tools, supplies and Band-aids....
Anybody want to buy a $4500 clock? ;-)

That sounds like the Lee Valley Tool book to me. I like to dream about a
wish list of tools I'd buy if I was filthy rich. I wonder though, if I was
filthy rich, would I actually build stuff for myself or just hire someone to
do it for me? Maybe the compromise is to be fairly well off, but just enough
so that I couldn't afford to throw cash away on a whim.
