O/T: What are you getting the missus this year?

Not as lucky as me. Year before last, the wife asked for a compound miter saw. She got it.

So far, a GIS gives me a duck caller, a hair dresser, a footy from Leeds......................

Duck Calling!

Does she actually do anything with it? I've never been married, but my imagination likes to conjure a rich gorgeous wife with a great personality that is really into woodworking. I should be so lucky.

Blue tooth headset.. was a request for Santa..

Also, I found an agate "egg" at our annual show a few weeks ago that she'll love.. I was lucky enough to arrange a good trade for it.. A bowl that had been to a few shows and not sold..

maternal grandmother always said: "We're too poor to buy cheap stuff."

How true.

She does (a bit) were remodeling our house, room by room and she wants to learn woodworking. So every chance I get I let her do the cutting. She is gorgeous and has a great personality. The only problem is I have to work my butt off to afford her.

A spiritual yoga retreat of her choosing, at Kripalu or Omega, alone...

I include "round trip luxury transportation", a.k.a. I drive her there and pick her up.

Everytime I do this, she says "Thank You" for months!

I know the feeling.

My wife has cranked out hundreds of quilts. I ask her to sew up some little thing for me and she gets upset!!

Amazing how informed Google makes one, eh? :)

Anyone who has gained any proficiency in consistently _talking_ a highballing flight of wild ducks or geese into a spread of decoys will understand.

No S*IT! Mine will not fix holes in my socks! Glad to hear that they hold up that well. IIRC hers is almost 7 years old and has only 1 problem with a reverse switch, $25 to repair and that was a shocker. Her machine however sees "lots" of use and absolutely still looks new.

Me I have short sleeved heavy flannel shirts. Build a pile needing alterations and wait.

Probably time for a new tool unless you already have a darning egg.

Don't have a darning egg?

Time to fire up the lathe.

Just be sure she gets most of her designs from the freebies on the internet. It will save you a bundle

That is so true! What's up with that?

She says "I Quilt...I don't sew"

I built and armoire for the bathroom (towels storage above and his/her hampers below). It took 2 years to have the fabric liners for the hampers made.

All alone, no kids, no shopping, no gifts. But I plan on getting myself a WorkShop WS3000. I guess if I had a wife I'd get her whatever she wants, within reason of course.

probably just not her "thing", Lee...

Sort of like all of the requests I get in the neighborhood for everything from signs to fence repairs, because they know that turners work with wood.. lol
