Tool(s) gloat....Or wife gloat?

**Chris Allen** · 03-15-2009, 9:28 PM

Well I figured I should finally have my own gloat thread. I'm not sure if this is more of a tool-gloat, or a wife-gloat. Woodworking is something I've wanted to do for a long time, and we're now in a good financial spot. Since the first of the year, I(we) have started buying tools.

Pictured, you can see a G0490 jointer , Ridgid planer, a Griz drill press, table saw w/ BD ProMax extension, and a G0514x2 bandsaw. The only regret I have is not getting a cabinet saw, so that, as well as dust collection are next on the list.

Not pictured: Dowelmax, Makita air-compressor, Milwaukee router, Makita Drill and impact, circ saw, chisels, Starret, brad nailer, etc, etc.

Anyways, here's to a great wife. I'm not trying to brag or anything....just gloat

Nice photos, which one is the wife?

**Gary Max** · 03-15-2009, 9:47 PM

A good wife is harder to come by than a bandsaw-----go ahead and gloat.
I like bragging about my wife also.

I have the same table saw with the same router extension wing. I've been very pleased with mine thus far. I would recomend getting the aluminum insert for the router wing. It has the capacity for small and large router bits.

It all looks really good to me... Thank the wife and take her out to dinner.

That sander in the background is not junk either.

Congratulations on the tools and the wife.

No it was not over your head it was over my head.....

It is a jointer in the background of that one image. I guess I had sander on my mind ( what little there is of it).

**Chris Allen** · 03-16-2009, 11:37 AM

Gotcha. I was scratching my head on that one

**David Duke** · 03-16-2009, 12:57 PM

Congrats on the tools and the wife Chris.........nice to have a Creeker in the neighborhood.

**Chris Tsutsui** · 03-16-2009, 1:36 PM

Congratulations on the financial comfort level.

This is something even the rich strive to achieve.

**Stan Urbas** · 03-17-2009, 12:17 AM

Now fair's fair! If you have a tool gloat you post pictures of your tool. So I expect you to post a picture of your wife, if you're having a gloat!

**Jarrod McGehee** · 03-17-2009, 12:36 AM

Yes, nice tools and it feels good to gloat. I just bought a new turning tool

and Yes, you must be in pretty good financial condition. I bet it's nice. I'm a student but I'll be there eventually

Chris,

Nice tools. A great wife is a big plus. Mine has purchased a tablesaw and band saw for me. Just wants to keep me addicted to woodworking

Nice setup! My shop is eerily similar--TS3650, G0586, G0513X2, Ridgid Planer.

Question about your router table extension. Did you have to drill/tap new holes, or did everything line up out of the box?
