That’s so funny.

Ever since I bought a whitney punch (ok, a few of them) I’ve literally sat
looking out my front window waiting for someone to need something punched in
metal.

It’s only happened once in the last year, but WHAT A FEELING!!



It did come to pass on Saturday that my neighbor needed a dowel to fit into a
pipe shaped object. I whipped out a sharp AA Woods hollow auger and a Fray brace
(108, methinks) and in seconds I had spokepointed and then was on my way to
dowel diameter reduction.

I bottomed out the tool, and needed a few more inches, so out came the
spokeshave and it was perfect in like 3 minutes start to finish.

Yes, these are the endorphins we crave.
