What I want for Christmas for my Shop

Nov 25, 2003 60 Replies

Christmas came early this year for me.

Just got the 2 last pieces today.

Bosch orbital sander Bosch 1/2" 1617 router kit Freud router table and fence Freud raised panel bit set Delta 6" grinder Delta 6" Jointer Delta Morticer Delta 8" stacked dado set Delta tenon jig Cool gadget for pushing small pieces thru router or table saw.

Now I think I better start thinking about my wife or else I'm in trouble.....

Have you tried one of the pod machines? We've got one (Grimac Terry, about $400) at the office that makes pretty good espresso, and you don't have to dick around with grinding and packing...

Get yer' Grimac here:

far cheaper than a high end lathe...

Too late! Bought myself a Jet closed stand jointer, Bosch jig saw and a dovetail jig. SWMBO figgered she was done shopping for my present when I got home! About a month ago I picked up a Harbor Frieght 2 HP dust collector, and a Lowes close out DeWalt 733 planer. Greg

How much was that? No, wait, don't tell me. Tom Someday, it'll all be over....

Jobs just cut down on your shop time!

How about some nice calender girls to sand my wood? DD

The Lie-Nielsen shoulder plane shown here!

Yeah I agree. She'll probably take up too much of your time wanting this and that . Will not give you time with your other love, like making sawdust with your tools.

As for myself this year don't need any tools just a bigger shop so I can fill it with more tools and wood. LOL

I want a JOB for Christmas- in my field!

Well Geez guys, if we're getting what we want, I'd prefer the calendar girls to rub me down than sanding my wood. Or, am I taking his response too literally? :)

The old saying goes . . ."If it's got t*ts or tires, sooner or later it's gonna cause trouble and cost money"(LOL) Nahmie

Doors and windows. The shell's done, got the exterior painted just in time for the freeze. _Need_ doors and windows. I'll build them over Thanksgiving.

Great... lot's of shop time here. No money to buy wood.

Think I'd rather be rubbed up.

Norman Crow responds:

Reminds me of an old friend, called to say he and his wife, both of whom I'd known since college, were splitting. She was a gorgeous, tiny redhead (back in the days before EVERY woman was a redhead). I said something about it being a shame, and his comment was, "No matter how great they are, somebody, somewhere is tired of their sh*t."
