Popular Post TerryMcK Posted January 10, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nice haul James. I also made a similar promise and broke it on January 2nd by ordering some more tools. New Years resolutions - pah. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post James Wright Posted January 10, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nice. You know the problem is when you start with quality tools you can't blame them anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..Kev Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nice haul James! A few items there I know you've been waiting a while for! Now, quit making silly resolutions about buying stuff! Makes some saw dust and an order, you'll feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm not usually a resolution kind of guy because resolutions are stupid, but I did make the same one this year...only I added the caveat that I wasn't going to buy any tools that cost more than $200 unless I had a mechanical failure beyond repair. So if I need something project-specific, or if my planer explodes, I'll buy. Otherwise, I'm trying to tighten the belt this year. A moratorium on frivolous spending until Black Friday 2016 at least. Ten days in and $0 spent. Only 319 days to go...not that anyone's counting. I'm also gonna try to lose a big slab of whale blubber this year. So far no progress on that. February sounds like a good time to start. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some oil and wax, along with some damp rid in each compartment of my tool chest. Each plane also has its own plane sock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there is a health benefit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I don't know why you guys would resolve to to deny yourselves the joy of oggeling, researching, shopping around, dropping a bunch of coin, finally buying then waiting WAY too long for it to show up while simultaneously wondering how your going to make the car payment.

The honing guide is amazing. Far better than the MKII I owned a few years ago and a big step up from the standard the standard wheel marking gauge I was currently using. It took me a few minutes to realize that I had to redo my guide stops. 1 hour ago, TIODS said: Nice haul James! A few items there I know you've been waiting a while for! Now, quit making silly resolutions about buying stuff! Makes some saw dust and an order, you'll feel better It seems like I have been waiting for the honing guide to be released for at least 2 years! I gave up on the plow plane and ordered the Veritas one in the middle of last year. I actually have been building an outdoor bench (TWW) for about 5 months now. It's a slow process for me, that second kid really slowed things down for me. SometimesI go 2 weeks without getting any shop time and my posts have gone down significantly. Not to mention cutting 36 tenons by hand is a slow process. 44 minutes ago, Eric. said: I'm not usually a resolution kind of guy because resolutions are stupid, but I did make the same one this year...only I added the caveat that I wasn't going to buy any tools that cost more than $200 unless I had a mechanical failure beyond repair.

Plus I have no more room in my tool chest. The one exception is of course wood and supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 And here I made resolutions to buy a track saw, 2-stage dust collector and drill press this year. And if I can swing it - band saw. Oh and finish ceiling on my shop and add a heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarsCW Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I promised my wife i would spend every penny on tools this year. She's pretty smart in asking me what money i would use to buy wood and giggled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
