mkirby Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I got 2 wood working books and due to delayed 30th b'day money a 24" Dorchester 4.5tpi rip saw. But best of all was getting time in my shop. Spent all day trying to chisel a rabbet into some purple heart and utterly screwing it up. That stuff splinters worse than carbon fibre. Gives me an excuse to buy more hand tool friendly wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CessnaPilotBarry Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Good rasps are quite the eye-opening experience! Folks who got them are going to be looking for opportunities to add curves! ;^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrust Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Wife got me a brandy-new Veritas low angle block plane. Nice. Amazing how that thing shaves endgrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSWoodcraft Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I got a lot of money, which I proceeded to buy a Domino 500 and a magswitch starter kit today. Now I can't decide to what to build next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJsumthn Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 With my gift cards to 2 different big box stores I got an air compressor at one store and a Dewalt 18 gauge Brad nailer at the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jHop Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 My family purchased an end grain cutting board from a high end food store.... While it's nice, and it's nice to see the end grain cutting board being accepted by "the professionals," (and it's nice to have an approximate idea of retail value for these), I'd rather have received the wood to make one myself.

tombuhl Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Which ones did you get, Tom? I've been wanting to get a pair and I've been struggling over which two would be the ultimate in versatility... Hello Eric, I began with the suggestions of Chris Scwarz in the Anarchist's Tool Chest, then at WIA Pasadena I spoke further with one of the Auriou family guys at the Lie-Nielsen area to narrow it down. Easy to become overwhelmed with the number offered. These two give me some large shaping capability as well as the modeler for smaller/fine or closer to finish work. From Lie-Nielsen Santa gave me: 2-ACR-10-9g 10 inch Cabinet - Grain 9 Rasp 2-AMR-7-13g 7 inch Modeller's Rasp A number of other vendors carry them, including Lee Vally and Highland Woodworking. Of course that can vary depending upon the type of work you do. I mostly do furniture and cabinet type pieces, rather than gift boxes and smaller items. Hope this helps.

pghmyn Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I've got $225 to Rockler and the usual gas cards, cabelas, and socks. I'm looking forward to picking up some new tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim DaddyO Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 A set of Narex chisels (the 3/8" is on back order), some cabinet scrapers and burnisher, a pocket marking guage, a book, a watch, and a .177 air pistol that pumps instead of using CO2. Wife ordered from Lee Valley on a Monday and it arrived on Wednesday. Pretty quick considering the time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggers Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Nothing for the shop. I did get to spend Christmas with both my grown daughters and my grandchildren. Life is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mds2 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I got a Porter Cable router with two bases, a bench grinder, diamond stone, router plane, and two shop stools. I definitely was not good enough this year to deserve all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddean5 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I got a book that tells a story about the most famous carpenter who has ever lived. Yes I got a new Bible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 iPad from my wife. Posting from it now. I was stashing cash for a tablet, but now I can buy some hand tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I got a 22 piece forstner bit set. It has all the in-between sizes. So now when a dowell is sloppy in a 3/4" hole I can use the 11/16 bit! Nice plastic case and I was happy to discover they were made in Taiwan , not China.

David Turner Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I think i made out pretty well... Now i tell my wife never to buy me anything we only buy for the kids and no matter how much we tell parents and grandparents not to buy of course they do..... I was lucky enough to get a new shopvac, a ton of clamps (Which really helps) and a new brad nailer.... Cant complain one bit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdie Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Nothing for the shop, other than my Virus first layer clothing www.virusintl.com which I asked my wife to get me so I can be warm in out unheated Redondo Beach garage. I got a coping saw from Tools for working wood. Pretty easy nothing major. Gotta love it! I'm a native Californian who knows Redondo Beach. I spent major parts of the last couple weeks working in my uninsulated, unheated garage shop with temps in the 20s to finish the Christmas gifts I was making. Had to bring them into the basement to glue and finish. Oh yeah, because it doesn't say yet, I live in Minnesota, about an hour north of the Cities. I guess it's all relative! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdie Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 A Rockler gift card and some woodworking books. Nice because the friends I celebrate with did this without any prompting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
