As I looked back over yesterday's post, I was struck by how "well loved" some of my tools look. This reminded me of a funny story.
I have a tv in my studio and it's often on while I'm working. One day it was tuned to a talk show about hoarders. James wandered in and watched a segment that featured a garage filled with brand-new, unused tools. When it was over, he looked at my stash of grubby knives and pliers and said, "I don't think you have that problem."
I can not tell a lie. I do have a few things that are still in packages...
and some of my occasional use tools look nearly brand new.
For the most part, however, James is right.
I use my tools!
(And let's not even talk about other model horse hobby related hoarding issues, ok? The kid says I'm not a hoarder and I'm happy to leave it at that!)
Egh...my dad already calls me a model horse hoarder!! I figure "What the heck" and just keep getting more XD
ReplyDeletehello I have just started customizing (I already paint toy horses but im starting to take off saddles , bridles , etc. that are fused on ) and I would be happy if you could tell me what kind of tools to use XD
ReplyDeleteA dremel, or similar type motor tool, is probably the best thing for removing large areas of plastic. My customizing kit also includes a heat gun, a small hacksaw, an X-acto knife with different sized blades and a carbider scraper, again with a selection of tips.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps!
