There ought to be a few men out there in Facebook land doing a Tim Allen grunt as they see this picture of a nice Delta Table Saw. It's the centerpiece of my fix-it corner of the garage. Mostly, of course, it gathers dust. But occasionally the tools all come out and something spectacular happens. Today, for instance, a stair rail got installed without any major injuries to my body or the home. I think it's important for many of us to doing something of concrete worth occasionally. Those who farm or build houses or repair cars, probably don't need this. But for those of us whose jobs revolve more around words than a toolbox, we need a chance to work with our hands and do something that requires drills, screw drivers and table saws. When I finished the stair rail...there was ...well... a stair rail. It's nice, really, to check something off the list that you know won't creep back on the last in the middle of the night...or some committee won't vote to change the specs that are on the list. It's done and over. Time to pack up the tools until the next home repair adventure.
