Well, this year it was easy for Santa. Turns out he got me:
1. Rockler Bench Cookies
2. Rockler auxilliary fence clamps x2
3. Rockler magnetic spotlight with lighted magnifying lens.
Man, those Rockler impulse-buy ads really work!
Anyone else get some stocking-stuffers for the woodshop this Christmas?

I guess I was lucky....I gave mom and LOML my wish lists from Lee Valley and Tools For Working wood...got some grammercy holdfasts and bow saw kit, Ashley Iles American Pattern chisels, Olsen 5 inch adjustable fret saw, Veritas side rabbet and small router planes, a 12 inch tool rest for my mini lathe, and a pair of japanese milled tooth files....and a $50 gift card for more goodies at Lee Valley.

My sister had her husband...who does custom metalworking of all sorts...make a 7' x10' lumber rack and J hooks to hold 6" S&D PVC DC piping. All from plans she had me draw up.
Also got a Kreg bandsaw fence from my boys.

No tool presents for me. I got a little pile of cash, some shirts, some Givenchy stuff, a subscription to FWW, and an invitation to take a romantic trip to a woodworking store. She has no clue about what any of those tools are for, although lately she guessed correctly that my Makita corded drill could be used to drill holes.
She goes by the tools' looks and she can appreciate various degrees of cuteness of some of the tools' designs. We never go to hardware stores together, unless there is also a gardening department, so it came to me as a shock when she liked a LeeValley store we visited a couple weeks ago. She marveled over their hand planes, the books, and she like the background music (they were playing Mozart that evening). We're going back to the store this coming Wednesday, as her wish is my command

My Mom is learning / getting a little older and doesn't have the kick she used to. She feels bad when she just writes a check but it is by far the best gift you can get. I am sure it will find it's way to Lee Valley

Two sets of bench cookies, 45 degree lock miter bit, Lee Valley calendar, Jim Tolpin's The Toolbox Book, and the Veritas Medium shoulder plane. I guess I must've been pretty good this year!

Had a great Christmas !!!
Got the Woodpecler, Saddle Square 90 and 45, that is when they he gets them made.
A new sanding mat from Eagle America, the old one was just about shot.
A new screw drive set, now I can clean out all those old ones that don't match.
Now its not really a woodworking tool but it goes with the shop, now NO laughing, a foot warmer. My shop floor is not heated and gets really cold and after working out there in the evening I come in and my feet are freezing.
