Amazon - What would you buy for $30?

[Jeff Sudmeier]

I know it's an open ended question, but I have $30 to spend at Amazon.

What would you buy?

I am a flatwork woodworker, upcoming projects include a bookcase/toybox, end tables, coffee table, dressers and a king bed frame.

Thanks!!

I just got one of these magnetic featherboards and love it! It's $45, but I think worth it since I bet you actually use it.

Thanks for the ideas guys, both items I wouldn't have thought of but now want :)

If anyone else has ideas I would appreciate them. (Over $30 works too)

[Mike Heidrick]

You may not need any of these but some ideas - $30 off one of the items below

freud dado blade
freud router bits or shaper cutter
freud or forrest saw blade
parallel clamps
kreg jig, screws, clamps, kreg's new micro/mini insert for the 3/4" screws
another router

Jeff, do you use a biscuit joiner? then genuine Lamello brand biscuits are worth the money.
Yes, as mentioned featherboards and push sticks. Headphones, wrap around splash goggles.

[Dave Mura]

Hmm good question

[Jeffrey Makiel]

A gift card for Jeff Makiel. :)

Blades, router bits, drill bits, sandpaper, sander, screws, clamps, digital angle box, Incra V27, batteries, etc....what do you need, what needs upgrading, what needs replacing?

[John Thompson]

I got an Amazon $50 gift card... after 38 years of accumulating not much I need. So... I hang onto it until a need arises for some small item or to chip the price off a larger one as the need will come eventually for something I really need.

This is a really good book on wood finishing if you don't already have one, very easy to read. Perhaps not interesting if you have already been woodworking for a long time. But I found it very educational:

Understanding Wood Finishing - Bob Flexner (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0762106212?ie=UTF8&tag=lillijean-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0762106212)

You can also get subscriptions to various woodworking magazines through Amazon. It also looks like you get a $5 Amazon credit for subscribing through them. Here are two:

Finally, do you have a pocket hole jig yet?

Flatwork huh. Kreg pocket hole jig, a biscuit joiner, dado set or under sized plywood router bits..

[scott spencer]

On second thought...if you really want to maximize your gift certificate experience, buy your wife or significant other some earrings. ;)

[Jerome Hanby]

My wife keeps my wish list populated for just such contingencies.

Plywood sized router bits are pretty handy, that's for sure.

[dan sherman]

A new router bit, that will be used on one of the upcoming projects.
