no need to defend againts anything you do ducks. if nice quality tools bring you pleasure why the hell not. some guys just get pleasure from the wood theve collected, or the tools they have. i know people that have the finest tools and never even use em ! you use yours so why not indulge. you cant take the money with you ! i happen to enjoy a little of all of it.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
