It\'s wroughtn_harv\'s fault

I now have a stick welder, angle grinder, auto-darkening helmet and can't wait to get more stuff.
A welder was something I've wanted for some time but never made it very high on the priority list. But wroughtn_harv and this board has changed everything. Now I am addicted. Thanks Harv!

I found a dent in my car the other day. Wroughtn Harv is on my short-list of suspects. Also, my cat is missing as is my 5/8 deep-well impact socket. /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

Man I'm glad I read that a second time. For a minute I had my feelings really hurt. I thought at first glance you'd said "<font color=blue>Wrought'n Harv is on my list of short suspects</font color=blue>."

Re: It\'s wroughtn_harv\'s fault

Kc5dlo, know what you mean. Looking at all of Harv’s projects and the fact that he is willing to show some of the tricks has me looking at welders also. The biggest problem is that I tell the wife to look what this guy is doing, we have to get a welder. She rolls her eyes, never looks at the photo and says “This is another tractor thing, isn’t it.” I try to tell her its not a tractor thing, its tools to make tractor things and save money. She say, “Ya, you’ll spend a couple of thousand dollars on tools to make something we can by for $200.” SHE JUST DOESN’T UNDERSTAND! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Mark, there is nothing wrong with your wife. Do not attempt to adjust the controls. This is normal female behavior. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Re: It\'s wroughtn_harv\'s fault

This is somewhat related to the wife vs. tools dilemma we all face. My wife is an avid collector of Longenbarger Baskets (highly prized with a cult like following and expensive - I counted the other day and she has 76 of them). Everytime I complain about her buying a basket ($50-$200+ each) she compares it to me buying a tool. The other day she needed something fixed on her car and asked me to help her. I responded by saying, "OK, I'll get my tools you get a couple baskets and we get the car fixed!" We both laughed. Then I fixed the car while the baskets sat neatly arranged on various places throughout the house. She still loves me.

Your wife sounds like a real "basket case" /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Oops /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif just saw weightlifting in your bio. I better issue a retraction for that "basket case" comment. /w3tcompact/icons/clever.gif

BTW, my wife collects dolls. At least a basket can be used to carry your tools. I have'nt found a use for any of the dolls yet. /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif Maybe a doorstop ? /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

"At least a basket can be used to carry your tools."

You don't know anything about Longanberger baskets do you. My wife has some. They do the same thing as her dolls do. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Ya'll need to become artists!!!!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Rule number one to being an artist. Claim it! It's sorta like the holy roller preachers say on the telley. Claim it and it's yours./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Rule number two to being an artist. Have a spouse that's gainfully employed./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Ron is going to give ya'll a false impression of me.

I like to make things. That is best done with tools.

Enough said.

Re: It\'s wroughtn_harv\'s fault

My wife is the same way. My only saving grace is that she is a horse nut so when we moved to some larger property to accommodate the horses we "needed" many things built. Well, that opened up the flood gates for all kinds of metal and wood working tools. Then naturally, we "needed" a tractor to take care of the arena so I was more than willing to satisfy. When you have projects to do and have the ability and inclination to tackle them, it is almost always easy to justify buying the appropriate tool to do the job.

Never heard of Longenberger baskets, but that's probably because I'm two miles from Ken Dalton's place.

Actually, Mark I think she understands a little too well.

Livincountry-
I like your story, but in my situation it would read more like this... We both laughed, then my wife said... "Now go fix the car so I can go buy another basket."
