re: My mess

About 2 dozen routers and a little over 100 circular saws of which ~80% are ready to run.  Some are impractical for anything but a specific task such as those 10" and greater unless the capacity is needed.  If it's not needed (though often slabs from the sawmill do necessitate them) they're a PITA to use vs. something smaller.  I used to fix power tools professionally at a lumber yard while in college, that and working in HVAC were two great jobs to have complimenting my education and ultimately earning my engineering degree.  I came to appreciate the older stuff that was built long before the idea of planned obsolescence became the reality built into everything today.  I may have to take some elevated shots to show there is in fact some areas where I can stand and safely(ish) work with sharp spinney things without involving the removal of flesh.
