    Only got ONE+ gift that matters

    Yep, got a few nice things like $100 from Mom & Dad, but my Sweety-Honey scored big with this ONE+

    I got the small plow plane from LV with the extra irons. I tested it on plain ol' pine. Didn't lap or sharpen the irons and it still worked very well.

    Also got a set of brad point bits.
    Where did I put that tape measure...

    Mike,

    You've got quite a wife there. If she had any sisters with similar gift giving tendencies I'll bet there's a whole bunch of guys who'd like to meet them.

    As for me I didn't get any WW stuff under the tree. She figued since I'd treated myself to a SS and a few other machines this year I didn't need anything else. However she did get me the Garmin 60CSx GPS that I've been wanting.

    Not much - HA! You are going to love that saw. The more I use mine the more I like it.

    Bosch 4410L SCMS arrived a few weeks before Christmas due to a local shop sale. I never thought I'd be intrigued by the whole "laser" thing but...I'm hooked.

    I recieved some nice things this year

    I have had a hard time posting pictures, I cant figure out how to reduce the pixels. (I know it doesn't happen unless there are pics, but I had to gloat!)

    Today, my wonderful children and my lovely wife bought me the PC 7518 router and the Hitachi 18 ga. Brad nailer. My sister-in-law bought me a subscription to FWW as well. How can you not love Christmas!


    Happy Holidays Everyone! I am sure glad I found this forum. I have learned a lot for being a member/contributor in the last year! YOU ARE ALL GREAT!

    REMEMBER: IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO DONATE!

    Not much yet. Some money from my parents towards the SCMS I'm saving for. Also they got me a book on power tools by someone I've never heard of. Leafing through it it does appear to be a decent book, and when we got home a few minutes ago, I noticed it is a Taunton Press publication. (Mom got a steal on it reg 24.95 for 4.99! Maybe I should let her shop for all my power tools!! ) Jim.

    I was going to start a similar thread until I found this one. I did pretty good this year. Heater for the shop, 2 sets of cabinet scrapers - Lie Nelsen straights and E. Garlick shaped set, Wixey digital angle gauge, 150 piece HSS drill bit set, and the crown jewel - Leigh 24" Dovetail Superjig.


    I also forgot to add that while cleaning out a "hidden" storage area in our attic over the garage on X-mas eve, I found approx 70 bf misc hardwoods including mahogany, white & red oak, and some ash and a nice old 5' long wood level.

    New shirt, 2 cans of peanuts, and a battery powered ice scraper. Told my children, that I did not need anything. Think maybe I've bought, almost everything there is to buy.

    I got one of these. But I am to comfortable & its to late to go to the shop for pics. So far I've sharpened a chisel & some knives & it works great.

    Well My loving wife and mother went in together and got me a Festool CT22 and ETS 150/3 sander. I also got some new bandsaw tires, a link belt, and a set of engineers squares. Needless to say I am very pleased.

    Hope everyone got what they wanted.

    Good Luck

    Alan
