Q3: How many tools do you have? To the nearest significant figure… #MakersHour

@MakersHour #MakersHour A3: I think I have a couple dozen pairs of knitting needles/interchangeable needle tips, plus a few hundred stitch markers, and two dedicated pairs of fabric scissors

[thegiddystitcher@sunny.garden]

@MakersHour At first I thought "does each individual stitch marker count?" and then realised that was nonsense, so then I tried to ballpark the different *types* of tools around the house, and tl:dr I think it's approximately a bajillion. #MakersHour

Well, probably around 100. Up to 200? Are we counting individual sewing needles?

@MakersHour A3 How many tools? a household toolbox, a small electrical set, some garden tools, a rather redundant sewing kit. Fewer than 1000, more than 100, leaving fasteners and materials aside.

A3: I don’t know, and I’m not sure I want to. I’m going to wimp out and declare my answer as lots and lots.

@MakersHour pah, I have no idea! Hundreds. There's a shed full of screwdrivers, drills, shears, chisels etc. Another shed full of garden tools, several boxes of sewing junk (needles, scissors, seam rippers, mysterious doodads, my sewing machine, dozens of knitting needles and crochet hooks) dozens of cameras, developing tanks, scanning masks etc etc

I'm gradually acquiring full sewing sets in 3 different rooms, plus my repair cafe set, and a travelling set. I think I must have 4 pairs of fabric scissors!

A3 that depends how you define tool. Is an end mill a tool? Is a drill bit? I don't actually know the answer. I'm guessing well into 3 figures, possibly into 4 figures. But that covers the tools for:

- woodworking
- metalworking
- plastics
- ceramics
- sewing
- knitting
- leatherwork
- Plumbing
- gardening
- general household maintenance
- electronics
- 3d printing.

Hmmm. Yeah, probably into 4 figures.
