    Love looking at tools and making tool wishlists. Getting to the point where my mates consider me sad, every Christmas/birthday for the last 5 years or so I've wanted something tool related. After a drill and a pair of work trousers this year.

    Try to compromise with what I need and what I want, I have a lock up with stuff I don't use

    I love picking up old skool tools from car boots, especially planes

    I horde tools, although recently i've started to give tools away to apprentices that I see really trying (I don't have apprentices, others I met on site). I recently upgraded my worktop jig and got a new jigsaw so passed my old ones onto a young lad I know couldn't afford his own with the money he was getting
