A shop elf who works nights, cleaning up my mess, putting away tools, sharpening plane blades etc................Rod

The #1 tool related item I would ask for is a tool cabinet for my mechanic tools and related items in my garage. I've got a line on a Lista cabinet cheap, but if that falls through I might build my own from wood.

The shop elf would really be handy...but a Delta/Rockwell drill press from the 50's to match my jointer would be great.

Somehow, I am wanting to have a radial arm saw with a nice fence with stop, for crosscuts and dados.

I have two. In order: 1 An oscillating belt sander, maybe the little benchtop Ridgid that doubles as a spindle sander. 2 A bench top mortiser with nice chisels and tools to sharpen the chisels. (Watched a cool video on the Woodwhisperer this am on setting up and maintaining mortisers. Jim.

A band saw for sure.

Either a much better band saw than the little wimp now in my shop or a new lathe.
Other than that a $20,000 gift certificate from Lee Valley or Lie-Nielson would be fine. Or maybe one from each.
Merry Christmas to all and a spectacularly fantastic Happy New Year.

I use my Powermatic 143 band saw more than any other saw. A band saw proves quite useful. Good luck finding one.

You guys are kidding, Santa does exist. I have a little girl here waiting for real reindeer to eat the food she left out for them.
