    Christmas Suggestions?

    We've begun our annual tradition of," What do you want for Christmas?", "I don't know, what do you want?" I aimed her at my desk with the Lie Nielson, Veritas, Rockler and Woodcraft catalog but that wasn't specific enough. I explained that anything from the first two would likely be a winner but she wasn't buying it. So . . .

    What would you ask for? We tend not to budget a dollar value but most often stay under $500. I just built a workshop and am in the process of filling it up. My newest thing is a 12 x 24 midi lathe and I don't even have a gouge yet so I'm thinking lathe tools.

    What to do, what to do?

    Growing older is mandatory.
    Growing up is entirely optional.

    Remember; it's never too late to have a happy childhood.

    Yep.........a lathe is not much good unless you have some gouges to cut the wood with!

    Definitely a sharpening system, a chuck and some turning tools.
