Yes. I helped in chopping and lowering a 1969 Chevy van. I learned to weld, too. It was fun!

Yes - just shelves for cabinets (used a power saw) but I'd be in a mess without those shelves. Have been "helper" in many of dh's projects. I'd love to get my hand on that "saws-all", or whatever it's called!

YEs, but nothing major. I wanted to take wood shop in high school, but back then it was a "boys-only" zone. Girls had to take home economics. UGH!

No, never used a power tool. I've never even painted a wall. Building, renovating, installing, repairing and all that isn't up my alley.

Nope. I put up a shelf with a drill, but that's about it. The IKEA hex wrench is more my style. LOL

No Hubby says that would be an accident waiting to happen. I don't touch the power tools, he stays the heck away from my sewing machine.

No. My dd has the knack for this, though, and has built and upholstered a sofa. She's now making a built-in desk for her apartment. Filled to the brim with her dad's genes, not mine, it's clear.

Heh, I have power tools for maintaining my power tools. My next project is to tear down my workshop and build a new one twice as big to hold all the new power tools I have added from my last two building projects.

No and I think that is a good thing. I would love to get my hands on some power tools; maybe that's why nobody asks me to help them. I do have a nifty drill though.

Oldtex, regarding that sawzall you want to get your hands on. That is Mrs Rabbit's favorite of my power tools. It is a TMD, tool of mass destruction. It isn't for cutting straight or fine lines, it is a demolition tool (and handy for tree limbs and shrub stumps too). I bought her an 18 volt battery powered one when I saw her climbing a tree to cut a limb with my corded one. Powercords in trees 'cause accidents and a sawzall is safer and easier for her than my chainsaw.

yes, for myself, mainly routers and jigsaws and chainsaws...but i was scared shitless when i walked into the garage once and my then 6-year-old dd was using the radial arm saw! all i could imagine was her reaching in front of the saw to straighten the board or something without thinking that she was already pulling the saw toward her! she did fine, but i made my dh promise not to let her use tools unassisted again! dd has helped build 3 habitat for humanity homes and can use about every power tool known to women. all i can think of when i see the radial arm saw is someone losing the radial portion of their arm!!

Oh heck yeah! I'm involved in most of the home improvement projects we do around here. I absolutely love the sawzall and yep it is totally for destroying stuff. I want to get my hands on an electric nail gun. Darren says no way in hell, he's seen my excitement and what I can do with an electric staple gun and there's no way he'd give me the nail gun.
