I do...many of my fellow friends who have shops overflowing with "good

In my own case, I see it as a very slippery slope....one great thing
after another can follow you home until the doors to the shop won't
shut.

Sometimes...no many times...you just have to say "No".

Your thoughts?

I have seen this problem.

it is completely over come by Ockleshaw's workshop principle.
Ockleshaw being the possesor of the most amazing workshop.

"if it looks useful it isnt.turf it out.

if it looks *really* useful keep it for a month.
if you havent touched it in that month turf it out.

If something is actually useful but hasnt been used in a year turf it
out.

that way you will have a workshop full of only the gear that you
actually need"


....of course ockleshaw had a second shed :-)
