Bring Whisky!"},"content":{"rendered":"

So downsizing my shop I opted to find my tools good new homes, over just trying to make money selling them on ebay. As a result I recently gave a bunch of friends tools. One of them that I gave some saws, planes, and chisels to showed up with this lovely gift in return.<\/p>\n

Best part is when I asked about the brand, he said something to the effect of \u201cI brought this type since I know you are a whisky snob\u201d, which was hilarious as I thought he was the whisky snob. Apparently one of us had brought out the good whisky the first time, and it started a feedback loop that took at least 3-4 years to discover. Which I am totally fine with \u2013 because hey, if you are going to drink whisky then drink the best whisky you can lay hands on. <\/p>\n

As it turned out \u2013 my friend did not really know how to use some of the tools I was giving him, he is a power tool guy, so we did a quick class. When I told him the saw he was being given was at least 110 years old he took it and started sawing as carefully as if he was dancing with a woman of the same age. While I appreciated the caution, after going over things like the proper way to hold and use a saw, he was still doing it in a whay that would never get him anywhere. We stopped for some whisky, and wouldn\u2019t you know it after that he was sawing like he was dancing at his prom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
