Re: Tools I wish I never bought
Different methods of building I guess. I use plenty of the Irwin type clamps but no cams.

Re: Coolest or most useful tool that you have?
My best and most recent acquisition has made the most impact, even though not used the most. I bought a granite flat surface off Amazon. It's about 12 x 12 and 40 pounds. Now, after years of struggling, I can get razor sharp chisels and planer blades. 1200 to 1500 grit sand paper and a Veritas guide...

Re: neck question - truss rod or no?
