I am an Airline Pilot. Every time I flick the 'on' switch on a power tool I remind myself that this is a dumb hobby for an airline pilot. I do it anyway because I reall enjoy it.

My father was a cabinet maker who did not encourage us to go into the trade because in the 1950's cabinets were being made of metal and plastic (didn't last long.)

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
