Tool you would most like for Christmas (or any other day).

[Gary Hodgin]

Hard decision but I'd love to see a set of Veritas PM-V11 chisels under the tree.

[Brian Kent]

I am pretty satisfied with my tools, but often yearn for a Veritas Medium Shoulder Plane or the 3 dovetail saws to go with my 2 carcass saws.

The thing I could use the best is more time.

I am quite well equipped, but I would like to have new versions of all my very old machines.

Others wish for the exact opposite, older versions of Asian made products formerly made in the USA.

[Mike Wilkins]

A Ducati Monster 1100 Evo. To get away from the world for a while and clear my head, come up with new furniture building ideas and think up some winning lottery numbers.

[Ole Anderson]

I am thinking I would like a ROS with good dust collection. Sanding large flat panels with my PC 6" ROS, even with a nearby side or downdraft table hooked to the DC just isn't getting it.

[David Cefai]

In 62 years I have never found incontrovertible proof that Santa does NOT exist. Hopefully he will again provide positive proof of his existence with that lathe on the bottom shelf of the first aisle in WJA at Tarxien.

Are you listening darling?

If we're going with Italian bikes, I'd like an 850 LeMans, I'm lazy and like shaft drive........No wait, an Ambasador with floor boards and solo seat..............Rod

Where would the elf ride with a solo seat?

[Alan Bienlein]

The tools are useless without the wood so I would want more wood.

Many older machines do offer a solid quality but, modern improvements can be desirable. The challenge is finding one without sacrificing too much of the other.

[Rich Riddle]

My wish would be for a better mind to skillfully utilize the tools I already own. Dad has far fewer tools and produces superior work. I suppose the next desired tools will be hand tools, not large shop tools.

Glenn, you are correct in that many modern improvements are desirable. Just wish some of the modern conveniences were retrofitted to older American iron; that would be the best of both worlds.

[Greg Portland]

If indeed Santa existed, what tool would you most like him to bring you?

A few hours each day when I'm rested and can enjoy working (playing) in the shop...

[Peter Kelly]

The thing I could use the best is more time.

Think I'd just prefer another me to do my day job and make a living.

[Brian Kent]

I changed my mind. I just want hours of practice making basic bowls.
