i'm a stickler for looking after tools. i still have my grandfather's lathe. it has a new chuck, a new bed, new motor, new gear box, new base, but it's still my grandad's lathe.

Was your Grandad called Trigger? Did he leave you a broom too..?

i was relating that scenario when david jason was auditioning for open all hours and trigger was roy rogers'nag.

What i hate is when people look at you funny when you tell them no, when they want to borrow something.

Just tell them that you were just about to use it yourself. The most common thing I get asked to lend out is a tape measure. I always say no or say I'm using it, I cannot stand the thought of it being let to fully retract itself at high speed and hearing the hook smashing back against the housing. :veryangry2:

...and if you were wanting to ping either my new Milwaukee mag tape or the missus nips...you'd be wrestling with a bra catch,about now...

Have you been taking lessons off of Trigger from OF&H "my brush is still the one I was issued with, it's had 7 new heads and 7 new handles" classic
