I use a really slim wallet (http://www.amazon.com/Osgoode-Marley…) and a money clip, but I haven't found a way around certain things. I still carry a driver's license, work security card, mass transit pass, AMEX, ATM card and health insurance card. Still, that's pretty dang thin. I think the "wallets" in the post…

I like that conceptually, but I can't imagine fishing line cutting through a thick graham cracker crust...

I use them for some things, but honestly I prefer pre-cut parchment paper for a lot of stuff. Just ball it up and throw it away—no cleaning. The silicone mats are actually a bit of a PITA to clean since they are so floppy. I've actually switched away from them entirely for cakes, even though I have some silicone…

Dexter's tool roll? Something from Dead Ringers? Yikes.

I like it. Never tried leather work, but it seems intriguing. Not that I need more tools.

Sometimes I feel like I have an infinite number of tools. Look, this is not going to replace my bag full of plumbing tools, my bag full of electrical tools, my bag full of drywall tools, or my bag full of picture and shelf hanging tools. Nor will it replace walking around my basement loading things in my tool duffle…

Well, I think there is something to be said for—as Adam Savage talks about—first order accessibility. I could put my tools in tool bag in my garage too, but I like being able to grab certain things off the wall—its just easier (although I seriously prefer slatwall to pegboard). Similarly, when I did silversmithing,…

As someone who has been negative about a number of pegboard solutions, I feel compelled to speak out when I see something that makes sense to me. I think this is an interesting build with a lot of potential use for a lot of different hobbies. Well done english tea, well done.

And in some it is. Why bother? Can anyone here—who isn't a locksmith—tell me they NEED to use lockpicks on a regular basis? If not, that leaves me thinking people are carrying them because they think it is somehow "cool" or "edgy" (which strikes me as being very... middle school).

From wikipedia: "Illegal possession of lock picks is generally prosecuted as a felony under the category of possession of burglary tools or similar statutes." You really don't think a cop would hassle you for having them?

Just because you can carry it doesn't mean you should. First, EDC is everyday carry—can't remember the last time I was called upon to pick a lock. Second, lockpicks are considered burglary tools in an awful lot of jurisdictions. At a minimum, it seems like you are giving cops a good reason to detain and otherwise…

I'm not sure where the pouch comes in? The iPhone case doesn't look like it is more than just a case and the linked discussion just says this is what he carries, no mention of bag/case/pouch. Explains my reaction, which was... "gee, all that could fit in your pockets."

Diagonal plant does not look happy.

I've assumed—and I think rightly—that I can maintain my existing lifestyle at a far lower income than I make today. First, I'm budgeting to have the house paid off, so while I'll still be responsible for taxes and insurance, the mortgage (a big $ amount) will be gone. Second, I don't have to live where I do—I pay a…

You seem to have missed completely the core point that it's about not judging people for how they spend their money. I wouldn't judge you whether you renewed your vows in the middle of a forest with no one around for $0 or in an $85K ceremony—I'm not "selling you" either way. So fuck off with the hyperbole—that, and…

I want to meet this lady. Anyone who carries a burnisher around is A-OK in my book, even though I've only ever used mine to raise a burr on a card scraper.

If you follow the link to the instructable, that is the way she did it.

You're too cynical. I have a huge amount of respect for Fred Rogers.

Oddly, it took me 27 wikipedia links to get from "Kevin Bacon" to "Philosophy."

Your life philosophy doesn't seem to be working out particularly well because you come off as a very, very bitter person who enjoys reveling in the misfortunes of others. I've been to a lot of weddings, some cheap backyard affairs, some much, much grander. The commonality I've seen in the people I've met at these…
