Do you have to move more than two hand planes out of the way to find room to
put a workpiece on your workbench?
Do you have a pegboard full of empty pegs, save the tools you haven't used
in the last six months?
Do you have a tray full of assorted bits sitting beside your bit organizer?
Do you have to move the tools off the far side of your rip fence when you do
a wider rip than normal?
Do you have any Lee Valley boxes you misplaced before getting around to
using their contents?
If your answer to any of these questions was yes, then you need to join
BOID.
BOID, the Brotherhood of Organizationally Impaired Dorkers is a new support
group for people like you. BOID members get together on the 31st of every
month (we are too disorganized to remember which months have only 31 days,
so we meet on the 31st of *every* month) to discuss organizational
improvement strategies while showing off their newest acquisitions from Lee
Valley, and brushing enough stuff out of the way to find a place to stick
them on the heap of rubble.
We also drink beer, as long as the power tools are locked out (if we can
remember where we left the padlock, and where the breaker box is.) Hand
tools are no danger to us in our inebriated state because we can't find any
of them anyway, or remember where we put the Scarey Sharp (tm) supplies to
put edges on them.
Additionally, we sit around and drink beer, and share tales of the tool that
got away, and how we finally found it six years later in the lint trap on
SWMBO's dryer, where we had been about to fix something before getting
distracted by tool porn.
I can't remember where the next meeting is, as I've lost my calendar, but be
sure to come anyway. BOID needs your support today. Please donate...
Well, I've lost the schedule of fees, and the payment address, but please
donate anyway.
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you at our next
meeting.
Bring beer.
And tool porn.
Thank you.

For some reason I suck at finishing. Even poly doesn't come out right. On
most "in the house" projects I let SWMBO do all the finishing -- that way I
know it will be acceptable. <eg> The PLANE solution is naturally a HVLP
sprayer outfit. If I had a two car garage shop I'd probably already have
one, but (unfortuantely ;-) there just isn't space in my one car shop. I'm
finding help at FROG, Finishing Rejects Overcomers Group.

(Actually, I was going to do up a web site with a nifty logo and some kind
of web forum or blog or something, but my motivation left me, and I decided
I'd better just post the message and get the idea out there before I forgot
about it. I welcome any ideas putting together a right and proper BOID,
and...)
...as a Charter Member, if you pay $150 a year for three years, up front,
you can take home a premium quality high tensile strength polymer resin
drill guide with the BOID logo scratched on it, or, at your option, a
sanding sponge. You will then be eligible to test out new merchandise from
over three hundred different vendors and share *your* opinion with them.
If you can remember where you left the stuff.
Hurry! We are only accepting 123,650 Charter Members, so don't miss your
chance to be a bona fide Charter Member of BOID. Hurry!

I'll trade you a free Charter Membership in BOID for a membership in PLANE.

No, but you can borrow mine if I can find it. It's either in my son's room,
out in the storage shed, or maybe on the mantle in the living room. I
think.

Now wait just a dang minute. I'm a Charter Member of SPONGE, and I even
have the jacket (because I cashed the check for $3... oops) but the SPONGE
I belong to is the SOciety for the Prevention of Neanders Gettin'
Everything.
What gives? Are you people ripping us off?
