    What shop tools did you get for Christmas? (The Christmas Gloat Edition)

    I got new shop apron and a magnetic task light for the bandsaw. And couple of Stanley/Bailey clamps.

    The LOML really outdid herself. I got two Incra rulers, a marking gauge, and three engineer squares. I can't wait to make use of all of those in the shop.

    Some nice things

    1. A lie-nielson small router plane
    2. A japaneese flush trim saw
    3. A nice block of purpleheart. (I am thinking bandsaw box)
    4. Kehoe jig

    Thankfully Santa's elves are woodworkers too. They really understand the value of good tools.

    I haven't opened them yet, but I know I got some t-shirts... someday these will end up being used in the shop.

    Merry Christmas to all!

    I did not get any woodworking related items from Santa. Not really a problem as I like to pick that kind of stuff out myself! I did get some wonderful metal wall art from Professor Dr. SWMBO...sourced from two artists on ETSY.com.

    lithium-ion powered cordless drill, 50 inch guide bar, digital dial indicator, universal router plate with twist in inserts, and most importantly a chance at another year of attempting WWing. Going to spend the day with my Dear Wife who is a patient in the hospital.

    Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
    NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.
