Its happened, first time in a long time, not a single wood working related item for christmas. Zero, nada, zilch. Truth is I don't need anything, or what I do need I buy as I need it. But mostly, I've reached a place called done! Well, there is this medium Veritas shoulder plane that makes good practical sense for my work……but I've been dropping serious hints on that for years with no bite from the Mrs. And I feel good about reaching this place. But is this nirvana, or some low plateau from which I just can't see the next elevation? And am I alone here? I know this is a place to discuss the tools we got…..but what of the ones we didn't?
