Neat prompted this little off topic chatter about GIRLS WITH TOOLS.

 

My husband often comments to anyone he meets that when we met I had more tools than he did ( he was right too ) :D

I love working with tools. Apart from my usual leadlight tools, I like working with wood.

My favourite tools are my router, my bench saw, my drop saw and cordless drill.

A few years ago I got a cordless drill for my birthday... and it's the best present I have ever got! I also love the buzz saw I 'bought Dad for fathers day' lol..., the sander, pop rivet gun, etc... My wish is to have a huge shed with lots of power tools and siting next to it would be a huge aviary!

Not sure whether I should be thankful or not here Macka.

 

See you are both right and wrong.

 

I am a young guy - but not too young, and I am still at school, but my capacity/role has changed.

 

I am a 33 year old high school teacher Macka, so I am not sure if I should thank you for recognising my youthful nature and exhuberance, or be annoyed that you think i am immature and childish - LOL!!!!

Don't worry Dave, my mind went there too!

 

I'm a 31 year old dental surgeon, pretty handy with all kinds of tools. Obviously I like drills, pliers, hammers, chisels, spanners, screwdrivers, all sorts really.

 

My ex-husband once remarked with surprise (because of my gender) when I was filling in a hole in the wall with plaster, sanding it back and painting it, "Hey, that's a pretty good job it looks just like new!", I said, "Well yes, it would want to be, since I am doing it in full lighting, in a dry environment, on a large scale, instead of some tiny little cavity in the dark, spit soaked cavern of someone's mouth!"
