Coop Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Kids and grandkids have asked and I’ve given it much thought. Maybe 3 more 24” Jet parallel clamps? I’ve just been informed that there is such a thing as a router compression bit and that looks pretty impressive. Aside from a gift card from Rockler, I’m pretty easy to satisfy. Hopefully you guys have greater aspirations? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askland09 Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 A nice face vise for my brand new bench that I completed last weekend. Also some accessories, dogs, hold fasts, the works! That is what is on my wish list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Surprise me with any "unusual" hand tool from a flea market, antique mall, garage sale, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkinneb Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 I'm hoping for a cordless glue gun that works with my Makita batteries. Don't recall where I saw it but thought that would be nice to have. Also some ww books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 32 inch track for the track saw, carbon coat kit for my cast iron surfaces and some new painters drop clothes for the finishing jobs, mine have been used for decades and are so stiff from layers of overspray that I think, if I tried, I could stand them on edge.

JohnG Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 As @gee-dub has mentioned recently, I made a wish list on Lee Valley for things I’d like to have but haven’t justified buying for myself yet. I’ve shared it with a few people that have asked for gift ideas. I made sure to find some inexpensive items for the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legenddc Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Apparently my wish list as too specific for my wife. I don't have a router table fence so I suggested that. I do feel like it's hard to make woodworking tool recommendations without having a wish list like Lee Valley or Rockler. My go to the last couple of years is anything to give me more time. Could be a gift card to Chick-fil-a so we don't have to cook for a night or a cordless leaf blower so I can finish cleaning leaves quicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take Ryobi batteries natively, but the company has adapters for all the other big names. I've got this one with the DeWalt adapter and it's absolutely fantastic. As for my wishlist, it's consumables like nicer sawblades, more push-pads (like clamps you can never have enough of these things), and lathe tools. Also a few bigger ticket items in-case the in-laws are feeling generous :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want a link to the exact product. Most are pages with 10 options that are so hard to get across to family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our kids have hit the age where friends come over to play. I try to use that time to get in the shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
