The device was keyed to Dewey Decimal codes and could learn from it's mistakes. Of course it never was sold, but it was invented.Gary Robertshttp://toolemera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-40249707050478216282009-07-02T11:34:57.142-08:002009-07-02T11:34:57.142-08:00Gary - What if we took things one step further, an...Gary - What if we took things one step further, and instead of just showing you where the tool is located, it actually brought it to you! Like at the dry cleaners? Hmm...<br /><br />Maybe <a href="http://www.white-conveyors.com/products/dcmercury.php" rel="nofollow">this system</a>, only instead of "customers" it would be "tasks" and "tools" instead of "garments". Yes! Scan in the code "dovetails" and the whole dovetail tool set is assembled AND delivered to the bench! With Martinizing! Awesome! <br /><br />Forget Sears - we're going big time! I'm thinking infomercial!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-75291249875371450662009-07-02T07:55:20.394-08:002009-07-02T07:55:20.394-08:00I was thinking along the lines of pressure sensiti...I was thinking along the lines of pressure sensitive switches. When you touch the image imbedded in the tool case, the actual hanging spot of the tool lights up. By doing this, you don't have to worry about buying duplicate tools to fill in cross-referenced gaps.<br /><br />There must be a Sears patent in this somehow...Gary Robertshttp://toolemera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-89784224681397502962009-07-01T22:34:30.857-08:002009-07-01T22:34:30.857-08:00Josh - Takes one to know one!

You want me to actually organize their storage? Yikes! :)Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-17584888947349827832009-07-01T10:04:33.597-08:002009-07-01T10:04:33.597-08:00I would suggest some 'cross-linking' betwe...I would suggest some 'cross-linking' between categories that overlap, such as bevel gauges. Select your optimum category. For related categories, simply draw an outline of the primary and insert a note directing yourself to where the tool is housed. <br /><br />It works for websites, why shouldn't it work for tool cabinets?<br /><br />GaryGary Robertshttp://toolemera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-82196998696662503622009-06-30T11:53:42.731-08:002009-06-30T11:53:42.731-08:00"...maybe I'm just strange that way...&qu..."...maybe I'm just strange that way..."<br /><br />You are - that's why we love you, among other reasons.<br /><br />JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
