My insurance agent suddenly wants to see pictures and descriptions of all the tools I am insuring under my home policy. Having never run into this before, the request struck me as a tad odd, but then again, I am talking insurance.
My experience with insurance can be summed up in that "good hands" logo. As soon as I have a need for them, those two hands do nothing but start clapping, and they dont put down my stuff before they do.
It is not that I havent thought of this list of tools before this came up, though.
A few years ago I started to catalogue my tools for future reference. It is a great idea, but not something I can get too fanatical about. Ok. Ill admit it. I havent looked at the damned thing in over a year. The main reason for this is that it started out as a great idea but ended up just being a hell of a lot of work, as does most of my "Eureka Moments". I did get about 80 or 90 tools listed before I ran out of steam, and to explain why the music died for me with this, every entry I did in this "dream" catalogue includes the following:
- The name of the tool
- The manufacturer of the tool
- The date it was manufactured
- What the tool was used for
- A quick description of how to use it
- A list of articles, books and digital media that I own that relate to the tool
- What I paid for it
- When I bought it
- An estimated replacement value at the time of cataloguing
So now you know why I havent kept it up. I must have been either drunk of bored when I came up with this idea.
That admitted, I still have about 25% of my tools already included in this catalogue, but to finish it for the insurance agent, it would take me a solid two or three months. Thats nuts. 
There is absolutely no reason for posting these images of my No.2 Type 7 other than the fact that I was up most of the night creating them. After a full eight hours work, this is the only tool that got added to the list.
