...is that it's very hard not to have a whole shop full of tools.
I'm starting to work on bikes more. Very soon I have to start building my son's bike for Christmas when I get it back from paint. And as I'm working trying to figure out stuff who to accomplish a task without the proper tool, I just think about all the tools I used to have at my disposal! I am going to lace up his new wheels, but I'll have to take them to a bike shop and beg to only change me $10 a wheel for dishing them and finishing up the true. I don't have a headset press or bottom bracket press, so I'll have to smack them in with wood. I don't have a bike stand, so I'll have to build some weird thing out of wood that won't work well.
It's just frustrating because I used to have so much so many years ago. I'm sure many of you feel my pain.
