Popular Post JohnG Posted December 25, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 Also, my wife bought me one of the Husky adjustable height work tables with drawers.

Or that the kids could use it as a table to color on and we could use it as a standup desk. So far it’s failed. Only woodworking related gift I got was a subscription for Paul Sellers masterclass which I’m excited about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted December 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 The most pleasing gift for me was to see a bunch of my 'Spin-a-ma-jig' (tm) platters and bowls become the choice prizes in the family gathering games! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when my coworkers and I were going to make a pact to buy whatever we wanted and tell our significant others it was a secret santa.

Popular Post Jonathan McCully Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Only tool I received this year was a Lie-Nielsen tapered tenon saw. Almost too beautiful to put to use, but alas, those tenons need cut. Was incredibly thankful to have receive it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chet Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 I received a 6 inch and 12 inch Starrett combination square. The 12 inch is replacing a nice but worn out Lufkin combo square I inherited from my father in law several years ago. It served me well but it just won't tighten up correctly anymore. It will remain in the shop. I also got a small miter box and saw. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Chet, adding the two pieces of wood to the base of the miter box and the thin piece of ply to the inside like @gee-dubsuggested , sure helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll see if my dad can use it. On 12/27/2021 at 6:39 PM, Coop said: My shop is now complete! No more Woodworking items! Until I’m influenced by another one of you yahoos on a must have item. Sorry about that. If it helps I’m looking at your adjustable workbench for our office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 As I already have the Bosch with both bases, I know that was a good purchase. From having seen the quality of the bench during assembly, I have no doubt that this will be a great asset as well in my shop. I plan on using the bench as an assembly table instead of habitually using the top of my ts! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been wanting a mag switch for a stop block for my ts top. Are most the same strength and are there other things I need to consider when buying one?
