For me, I'm hoping for a nice digital graduation caliper. My home-made job is just not that accurate for final graduations, and using the plain old metal outside calipers is very time consuming to check 20-30 points several times during the process.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas.

sounds like a nice tool! I want one too!
Hope someone who can do something about that is in the know!!

Happy Chanukah.

I've been pricing 24" joint planers, and unless Santa brings me one, I'm going to have to make my own. Found a nice plan

I wish I had been good in 2007, but I always will have 2008.

Maybe I'll have to be good in 2009 as well.

I wish Santa would bring me the gift to be a halfway decent violin
maker, and player.

Well, thanks God I have everything I need to make violins, violas and celli, that is, books (more than a hundred, in Italian, English and French), tools, perhaps 50 violin wood sets, 20 viola sets, and 5 celli sets...

Now it's up to me, but even so I need Santa's help!!! Please send me more clients, they are never in excess (quod abundant non nocit!!!).

Dave, I just saw the February issue of Fine Woodworking (I hope that was the right one!) and it had a real nice article on making a wooden plane. Check it out.
