What I want for Christmas for my Shop

Nov 25, 2003 60 Replies

Just curious! I want to know what other woodworkers want for Christams. Here is a chance to place your list. Maybe SWMBO is reading the WREC.


I already got mine....a Grizzly 18v cordless drill-driver.

Happy Holidays to all. Joe

Well...If'n SWMBO can get me a bigger garage (like a four car)...then I'll supply the rest ;o)

This is the first time in several years I have not needed a major tool in the shop. For my recent birthday she had an electrician add some new circuits to the shop, and the daughters bought me a link belt for my table saw.

For Christmas, a new mitre gauge for my table saw. The one that came with it is pretty bad.

5hp Unisaw with a 50" Beis fence. Oh . . and an 800 square foot headed shop to keep it dry.

A commercial espresso machine........

and a high end lathe

Guess which one costs more............

Gary

A job! (That way I can buy what I want.)

Living in an apartment, I'd like Santa to bring me a place to setup and use my tools. Of course, if Santa wants to bring me a SWMBO too, then I'd certainly consider it. :)

Upscale notes:

Well, I've got the second, but she's not all that obedient.

I'd really like to get back to my shop, get away from the tiny, under-powered shop I have here. Wish I could move this house and keep it, but it doesn't work that way. We get to go back to the '62 model, instead of the '15.

What I want is to have it be my shop exclusively........not share it with shelves full of sleeping bags, air conditioners, coolers, roller blades, bikes, a snowblower, and a lawnmower. Doesn't she realize I have to stack all that lumber somewhere, and where am I going to put that bandsaw?

I want an angel.

may be offended....Beware

On 25 Nov 2003, RKON spake unto rec.woodworking:

I may start believing in heaven.

I'll bite. The espresso machine.

Ditto here: MORE WORK! (Since I'm self-employed)

After that, prolly a Shop Fox mortiser.

My present is on its way already - a Mule Accusquare fence and their router table. Should arrive any day now.

You aren't getting my SWMBO, she already said i could have a new Delta

36-650c for Christmas. But after we discussed it further it was decided this would be put off until spring because i can't work out there in the winter anyway. So I guess I'm getting a Canon 420EX for my other hobby. Ken

Jointer. Just can't decide which one but I'm leaning towards the $399 Bridgewood Ed snipped-for-privacy@snet.net
