You are way off the mark

[<someone]

Below is a list of my tools that was made last year for my insurance company. Together with digital pictures that I had to provide to them of all listed. Since then I have added several items (Christmas and birthday presentes) to my shop. No its not complete, I dont have a dust system or radial arm saw but it will put a bunch of you morons to shame. I am an electrical engineer by trade working in the medical field with a vast intrest in wood working.

Are you waiting for a comment? A suggestion? Are you expecting others to spend the next month inventorying their shops for your amusement?

I don't understand. Are you saying I should be ashamed because you have spent more on tools than I have? Have you used any of them? Probably not if you haven't seen a need for DC.

But you say you are not a troll. Then what is your point?

[Guess who]

intrest in wood working.

It looks more like a partial interest in collecting tools. I taught math to people, and some of them became engineers. So what's your point? The question was rhetorical [look it up.]

Actually, a list of tools, even as impressive as yours does nothing to "put a bunch of morons to shame". Nor do your professional credentials or your personal interests. If you ever stood the chance of putting anybody here to shame it sure wouldn't be this way.

The evidence of this has been found lacking.

[Robatoy]

WTF??.... I mean..WTF???

You been drinking, son?

This is NO way to make friends.

[Mike Marlow]

Hey - I use my tools and I don't have a dust collector, nor do I see the need for one.

[Frank Ketchum]

Someone who has to put up the disclaimer that he is not a troll most certainly is.

Frank

[Toller]

I can't see using a planer or a router table without a dust collector; and certainly not a drum sander. But if it works for your, great.

[Greg G]

That would be one guess... Based upon the tone of the OP, others might be:

For a lack of education. For a lack of skill. For a lack of friends. For a lack of manners. For a lack of a meaningful life.

A few years ago, I built a bedframe for someone. Kind of like a waterbed frame but this one held an air mattress. Constructed mostly of mdf with plastic laminate. I was standing at the tablesaw, having ripped a few sheets of this stuff, when he drove up. He took a look at me, standing ankle deep in mdf dust, wearing a respirator, glasses and looking like a human shaped piece of mdf. He decided right then I needed a dust collector. We headed straight down to Rockler and he bought me a Jet DC 1100. Don't know if I would have ever gotten around to buying one myself but after having one for a while, I wouldn't be without it.

[Frank Ketchum]

The waiting list for that title is quite long round these parts!

[Frank Ketchum]

Some of the biggest idiots I have ever met were sitting next to me in my engineering courses. Of course, maybe he is just talking about driving a train.

[Greg O]

I was luke warm on dust collectors until I bought one. I can not figure out why anyone with power tools does not have one! Greg

[Leon]

That looks like the list I had about 20 years ago.

[Leon]

Hey, I got my big old Delta planer in today. I know now why there is an oil shortage.

[upscale]

You've got a pile of tools there. However, that doesn't for one second suggest that you have the knowledge or skill to use them properly. All it says is that you've got money to spend.

As far as the "morons" comment goes in addition to your claim you're not a troll, the only thing that you've confirmed is that you've got a big mouth.
