Cotton's Law

[flyguy0609]

Cotton's law of home building states that " The purpose of the hobby is to buy tools". The first corollary to Cotton's Law is " The quantity of tools will always exceed the available storage." or "Tool Organization is futile".

Any other observations on home building?

Excellent - another one is "it will be done next year." Believe it long enough and sooner or later it's true!

You only need 200 clecoes.

No matter how long you procrastinate hoping to save on shipping charges, as soon as you place your order to spruce or sonex or jegs or whoever...you will inevitably need something else from there right after you place the order.

Not enough storage space for tools only means that you next investment will be in a bigger shop. Last three moves, shop has gone from 350 sq, ft. to 850, to current 1,150 sq. ft.

Probably adequate if that is 100 each of each of 3/16" and 1/4", for the 1/8" and 3/32" sizes better at least double that.
