    So, what did Santa Bring?

    Well Santa Wife was good this year. Not a bad haul, need to get out to the workshop and make something to re-enforce this positive behavior.

    Paul,
    Nice Christmas haul. That is a really nice looking router set-up. Is that table cast iron? I think I could really get into that.

    Paul,

    Remember when you "make something to re-enforce this positive behavior", it can't be something for the workshop.

    Nice haul. I love the router table. I'll be interested in hearing how well you like it. That's something that is still on my "dream list." For now I have to use a small bench top table.

    I got truck parts and music dvds. I did get a great gift from the secret Santa network....a pen turned from composite, a Tenryu saw blade, the first year of Woodcraft magazines and a windbreaker jacket!

    Mrs. Klaus and Ms. Klaus Jr.'s were good to me this year. Some of my (their ) favorite cologne, shirts that I don't "swim" in (dramatic weight loss over last year), a couple wooden dumbbells (antiques from the UW Madison, Red Gym), a couple antique planes (one woodie, one transitional), an old level w/wooden case. Oh, and then there was the pretty "substantial" gift card for my favorite toy store (Woodcraft). Musta' done something right this last year!

    Yep, it's the Bend Dog pro. Really nice cast iron surface.

    Thats the Krell sharpening guide. I am hoping it will work well for narrow western chisels and Japanese chisels which tend to be short bodids and wont fit most jigs.

    I'll give an update on how well it works after I get it fired up.
