300 forum posts	Remember reading in Goodwoodworking mag years ago a tale - " Success, today I needed some fine aluminium bar to compelet a plant holder for my wife. The bars salvaged from the old pushchair worked perfectly. I proudly showed it to my wife and reminded the family how she had scoffed when I spent ages knocked the rivets out. But I have been proved right ! Triumph at last !" It then added underneath" PS my wife says I should tell you my son is now 47 !" But as you say- horders syndrome. Then only advice I can recall being given by my sainted uncle was " whenever you do a job using a special tool you bought or made to do it- Make damn sure your wife sees the tool and you stress how it would have been impossible without it! I have adopted this guidance wholeheartedly and can vouch for its effectiveness! But I'm with Neil- use it and then if it breaks at least you've had enjoyement from it, If it goes rusty whilst ebing admired and "saved", what's the point ! Ian
