I got my birthday present last night and wow!! What a surprise. My wife had called a couple of my coworkers that are also into woodworking (and constantly hear about "what I want") and went to Woodcraft and picked me up a new JET DC-1100ck (the canister style 1-1/2 hp dust collector). WAHOO!! The coolest part (aside from putting it together last night and sucking up some serious dust) was her story about the guys in line behind her. "Excuse me, is that for you?" "No, it's for my husband's birthday" "Whoa! How'd he get so lucky as to have a wife who'd buy that for him?! Will you call my wife and let her know what kind of gifts to buy me? Hey Frank, come check this out!"
Pretty cool, huh!
