I think I need help.

Seriously, I think I have a problem. The obsessive compulsive nature runs in our family and I know mine is with woodworking. Especially when it comes to lumber itself. I might have more boards in my shop then some lumber yards. When I go to our local lumber yard, I might be going for a couple of boards of white oak. But I leave with the white oak, and 7 other boards that I could not pass up because of their beauty.
When I get down to say 3 gross of FD blades I have to order like 5 more gross.
After I received the last order from Mike, I counted how many blades I have here.
1450 blades of just my favorites, FD Polar #5's.
This hobby has become my addiction, passion, escape, and great joy all rolled into 1.
Anyone else have this problem? I doubt I am alone with this.

Welcome to my world!

Care to elaborate Janette?

Obviously I have been this way for a long time. It did not happen overnight.
I guess I am just accepting it more now. I had been in DeNile for a long time.

OC behavior? What OC behavior? I call it being frugal. I even keep small scraps of thin plywood, about 3" x 3" and use them for ornaments when I get a chance. Forget about the larger boards. If I even mention that I am going to the lumber yard or that I am running low (down to my last two or three) on some thin stock and need to order some, my wife has a canary. I then have to cut something just for her.

As long as your not offered a spot on the TV show Hoarders, you're good.
