"As classically conceived, an axiom is a premise so evident as to be accepted as true without controversy."

1. No matter where you put it, it's in your way...and then you can't find it!

2. Before you do anything, you gotta do something first!

I know I made that jig for something but, damned if can remember what.

Working from the plan's cut lists insures ill fitting parts. DAMHIK:mad:

If it's a horizontal plane, it'll collect tools.

If you can't fix it with a 16 oz hammer and 12" common screwdriver, then the problem's electrical.

No project is complete till you make at least 3 trips to the hardware store.

You will ruin the finish when making 'one 'final' tweak'.

It's ALWAYS in the last place you look.

If you can't find it, the best way to, is to buy another one.

If someone else has one I have to have one.

If it is the last one I am buying it for sure.

Of course it always costs more if I need one.

If it is that good I need two of them.

No matter how big the shop is it is still not big enough.

A project that is "a piece of cake" only takes 3 times the original estimate.

"You can't have too many Shopsmiths..."

Well, yes, you really can... beyond about 6 they just become clutter machines.
