    NGL making tools to make tools to make tools scratches a persistent itch in my brain. That all sounds very satisfying.

      It is very satisfying. That’s why I was a toolmaker for a dozen years or so until I got so cranky and pissed off angry I had to find a new career before I DID skin some idiot alive and nail their hide to the wall.

      But I do enjoy the process of making a good and accurate tool. The problem is, I tend to be a perfectionist. And when I realize I’m on the third iteration of a tool that really isn’t that important, it can be hard to pick up the old thread again. But I do enjoy it.
