So you’ll know where your needle-nosed pliers are when they go missing from the kitchen drawer. They’ll be all oily and grimy when you retrieve them from the garage/basement but they’ll clean up nicely especially after you steal his three-in-one or WD-40. Dee

This post made me chuckle. Boyfriend is a carpenter and I’m a cook, so between the two of us our tool collection has taken on a life of its own…

It’s hard to tell from the photo but there is a #2 square drive screwdriver hiding in the photo.

Note to Christopher Schwartz and his readers. My husband is a physicist, engineer and inventor. His nephew is no mere six year-old. He’s a very smart young man who loves to work with his father. His Dad has built a house from scratch and his next projects are a workbench for himself and a workbench/stool/tool cabinet for his son, on wheels.

Yes, safety is always an issue which is why my husband bought our nephew safety goggles and appropriate-sized gloves.

That said, my husband wanted a toolset like this when he was a boy. When his brother was out hunting, fishing or canoeing, Jim was building himself a workshop and inventing things. That’s why he wants his nephew to have the tools he never had. Of course our nephew will be supervised by an adult – all he wants to do is work with his Dad. And creating a workbench for Dad and toolbox on wheels sound like great projects. Cheers and keep cooking on those woodworking projects! I’ll bring you some fresh lemonade. Dee
