Say the Christmas Tool Fairy comes up to you and says “you can have any ONE new tool you want, be it a power or a hand tool, but the total must be under 2000 dollars”!
For me it would be a LN shooting board plane. What tool do you fantasize about?

Can I have a machine to make bandsaw blades?

Festool STM 1800 mobile cut station for handling sheet goods and a Domino 500 for smaller projects to compliment my DF700.

Just one tool Jim. But what the heck it’s Christmas. You could limit yourself to larger projects and thereby not need the smaller Domino. But that would be unamerican.Originally Posted by Jim Becker

A nice LN block plane

That Harvey dust collector — the 700? The one Mr. Becker has! I’m happy to follow his lead��

I would spend the whole 2K on shaper cutters. I just got a Hammer F3 and a nice compliment of cutters adds up quickly.

A wood stablizer, the one that will make lumber stay flat and straight after you have milled it flat and straight!

For the first time in my memory I am not actively looking for any tools since I got a proper lathe to use instead of the Shopsmith. If the tool fairy could rebuild my new 1940s Unisaw that would be nice, though. Otherwise I'll have to do it myself this winter.

Hmm...I think I'd take an extra pair of hands for a week. I work alone so there are things on the to do list.
