A penny spent...........

is a penny gone forever.

I spent a few yesterday, ebay and a new tool (or toy as my wife calls it).

The ebay stuff is just a couple of monitors I picked up cheaply. If they work, I have jobs for them right away.

The tool is an oscillating saw/grinder/rasp/file/sander I saw advertised on TV and have just bought on the web. It's called the Worx SoniCrafter and was expensive but it looks very useful. The action is based on technology I first saw on Tomorrows World being demonstrated by Raymond Baxter. Since then, it has been used by hospitals to remove plaster casts. The saw, or whatever, doesn't spin, it just oscillates very quickly and only cuts anything that resists it. If it hits skin, it just vibrates the skin and won't cut. Very clever, very small and no torque to worry about.
