"A Portrait of the Artist"

I don't think you can technically be a geek until someone ELSE calls you one.

Actually WANTING to be labeled, or self labeling oneself as a geek kind of obviates one's potential geekness....no?

Based on the chisel thread we had I went out and bought one of the Ashley Iles round backs. It's nice. I can see where a person could get a bit geeky about it

Whoa I want to see what's going on to the right! That's some serious hand tool candy and OCD shop organization going on.

Nice. Where do you get the blue tape dispensers?

If you're cuttin' back, Todd, cut some my way!

Thanks.

Gil, I found a single roll dispenser for about $10 at Gander Mountain in Turkey Creek. I had freezer tape on it and was in the meat processing section.
