following the natural progression for these lately would make the next one the annual pot pourri.
may i be the first to suggest that that would be going too far.
of course, I'm the one who wasn't lazy enough to be a good mathematician:rolleyes:

OK....quarterly max. If quarterly gets too funky, we'll revert back.

I posted previously about my pac rat tendencies toward 'scrap' wood. Following in the foot steps of
mbcabinetmaker, I now have an official barrel reserved for anything larger than a dime....just in case I need it. When it gets full, I'll skim off 1/2 of it into the trash.
Now I need to deal with that same pack rat tendency I have toward keeping tools that I know I'll never use. When I funded the
pegboard storage rack, I went through all my tool drawers, shelves, boxes, cabinets etc. and it really hit me just how many things I've kept that really need to be gone. I have over 20 screwdrivers, 3 full sets of spade bits, 4 complete socket sets, 3 hacksaws, 3 circular saws, on and on. I don't even remember how I came across them. Cheap yard sale items I'd bet. So, looks like a yard sale. Can't throw them away. Somebody can use them.

If you look thoroughly enough and then have a good yard sale, you might end up with the purchase price of a Power Pro Upgrade Kit.
