What tools did you receive as gifts? (with pictures please)

[Frank Pellow]

Santa, my wife, and my daughter Kathleen combined to give me:

-two Veritas Hold-Down clamps

-a Veritas Large Saddle Square

-a GRR-Ripper GR-200

-a Kreg Profesional Pocket hole kit

I am happy to observe that all these tools are made in either Canada or the USA.

[Rod Torgeson]

Frank......I got a Powermatic jointer, a Powermatic Bandsaw, a new shop vacuum and a lettering kit from Rockler. Sorry no pictures yet of the shop vac or the lettering kit. I also got four Timberwolf bandsaw blades. The riser kit is in the mail. This is from santa(me) to myself. Like I told my grandson, I don't think santa can find my place. Rod in Appleton, WA

[Jim Hinze]

LOML got me 2 days 1-on-1 with David Marks in March as a combined XMAS-BDay present. I am on cloud 9....

[Tim Morton]

Frank I also got a Powermatic jointer....maybe just not QUITE as clean as Rod's...but give me time :cool:

[Christian Aufreiter]

No tools yet, but I might go shopping on Monday :D .

@ Rod: Could you tell your Santa that he missed to drop some tools at my house? ;)

@ Frank: Sorry for hijacking this thread but have you had a chance to test your Deltex?

Regards,

Christian

I have used the sander on a couple of small projects and am happy with it. It certainly gets into corners well! But, altogether, I have only used the Deltex sander for about one hour and there has been very little variety in the tasks that I have used it for. So, I don't really think that I have TESTED it.

[Frank Pellow]

Frank I also got a Powermatic jointer....maybe just not QUITE as clean as Rod's...but give me time :cool:
Tim, when did Santa start making deliveries with a truck?

[Jim Dunn]

Frank,

Wife/santa got me a Jet dust collector, but I'm gonna return it and get the one with the canister.

Son and daughter-inlaw and grand daughter got me a gift card from Rockler, probably gonna get a set of chisels with it or some router bits.

Jim

[Kevin Beck]

Rod's gloat left some bruises but I got some nice goodies from Santa LOML (love the Lee Valley wish list) and an earlier "tool" for another of my hobbies.

Kevin

[Martin Shupe]

LOML got me 2 days 1-on-1 with David Marks in March as a combined XMAS-BDay present. I am on cloud 9....

WOW!

I read on another forum about a woman who did this for one day. Can I inquire as to how much a day with David Marks might cost? (Not that I can afford it, I am sure.) The lady said it was money well spent, she had a terrific time, David and his wife were very nice, and she learned a lot. What a great deal for you!

[mike lucas]

One of these old things:D but since I don't have a picture of it, I picked this one, as it is very much like mine, but not as nice as mine.

[Jim Ketron]

I got the G0555 with riser but I used it before Christmas:D

[Charlie Plesums]

I got a MiniMax CU410 Elite combo machine - been drooling and planning for months, and under the tree was a certificate saying that it should clear customs on Monday and be here some time next week.
http://www.plesums.com/wood/CU%20410%20Elite.jpg

I promise a picture of my own machine when it arrives - or maybe a month later when all the cosmoline is off it;) . 8 1/2 foot sliding table with outrigger for the 12 inch saw (with scoring blade) and shaper, plus 16 inch jointer, 16 inch planer, and mortiser. Retirement starts in January, if you can call this retirement :D -- feels more like gone to heaven!

With the expectation that this was coming, I recently picked up a used Steff power feeder for it. Sweet! Already used it to cut some crown mouldings on my router table. It will be nicer with a 5 hp shaper under the power feeder.

[Allen Grimes]

Wow, Charlie, that is my dream machine. Congratulations. You are about to start living with a monster.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

[Jim Young]

Delta mortiser and cash (that translates to tools).

My niece and nephews got me this for christmas. It's 12 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Now I need to find a Big sharpener for it ;) http://img92.exs.cx/img92/9370/pencil1a3ug.jpg

[Dave Avery]

Festool MFT (large), jigsaw, and plunge saw (sorry, no pic's). I also used my Tormek for the first time yesterday with the large knife sharpening jig - worked incredibly well. Dave.

[Joe Judge]

Santa brought 2 gifts I wanted ... turning books and a new banjo.

-- joe
(hope the 2 picts uploaded correctly)

[Bob Reeve]

My LOML got me a midi lathe and my daughter got me a PC333 sander. Sorry no pics as the lathe is on B/O till Jan.

[JayStPeter]

Wow, lots of good stuff here.

The last couple of Christmas' we've been in transition. Either moving out or in to a house. As a result, we have been pretty tight at Christmas. So, this year we got a little out of control.
My birthday is also in December, so the gifts sort of run together.

I got:
- Jet 12" Disc sander (benchtop model)
- Veritas LA smoother and HA blade
- Veritas Flat spokeshave
- Infinity rail/stile set with bevel profile
- Veritas bench bolts
- Veritas 24" steel straight edge
- Etymotic ER6 earplug headphones

The disc sander is bigger than I expected (not the disc itself, but the beast as a whole).
The earplug headphones are fantastic with the iPod.

Jay

[Carole Valentine]

Got cash from my Mom to support my woodworking habit and my mentor and his wife gave me a Lee Valley Scraper Plane. Problem is, it's to cold and snowy to go out in the shop and try it out so I have it sitting on the kitchen table where I can fondle it once in while as I walk by! 6" of snow and coming down like crazy here. The birds knew and told us long before the weatherman even considered this storm!

[Greg Narozniak]

have to pick it up after new years but A MUCH needed addition :)

[Kevin Beck]

http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=14107&stc=1

Sweet. Hornady Lock-n-Load progressive, right? Have you had a chance to use it yet?

Monte

I've set the press up and adjusted the dies for a few calibers I reload but I haven't really ran many shells through it. I reloaded for many years with a Dillon 550 but I like the LNL better so far.

I did do some wood working beefing up the stand the press is mounted to. It was fine for my simple single stage press and my shotgun shell reloaders but it was flexing a bit with my new press.

[Kelly C. Hanna]

WOW! That's a big saw!! You guys made out like bandits! I got $100 in Rockler gift cards aside from the 1023S & slider my wife bought me for an early Christmas in September.

[Bill Arnold]

I got a MiniMax CU410 Elite combo machine ...
Wow!!! Talk about a GLOAT!!!

You lucky guy!

[Bill Arnold]

Good Christmas for me. Prices make it even better.

Hitachi m12v for $129

AG
Arnie,

Where did you find the M12V for $129? The rest of us thought we got a good deal at $159.

In any case, congratulations!

Regards,

[Bill Arnold]

Christmas?

It's hard for me to say -- this entire year has been like Christmas for me! Starting back around the first of the year, I began replacing some older items and buying new tools I never had. Call it what you will, with this year being #60 on the birthday scale I was trying to get serious about 'retiring' -- it's really been more like retired as in 're-tired' -- tired all over again!

Beginning with some Jet equipment in January: 10" cabinet saw, 12" disc sander, benchtop spindle sander. (I already had a Jet 6" jointer and Delta 12.5" planer) Miscellaneous smaller items throughout the year, then a Grizzly G0513 17" bandsaw in August for my birthday followed closely by a Grizzly sharpening center. A ton of other items since then like a set of Grip-Tite featherboards; an M12V router is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday. Also to be delivered soon is a branding iron, purchased at SWMBO's insistence.

Anyway, this year Christmas became a little anti-climactic but I did get the requisite cologne and a few other goodies.

Happy Hew Year everyone!!!

[Arnie Grammon]

Arnie,

Where did you find the M12V for $129? The rest of us thought we got a good deal at $159.

In any case, congratulations!

Regards,
Amazon/Tool Crib had a sale for about two days a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure how they price things, but what happened is I bought it at $149, but then found out about the $129 price and gave them a call to see if they would honor the lower price.......they did! In any case, I think it's a great buy at $149 or $159 or whatever. Great router.

AG

[Jim Dunn]

Well had a nice lunch and returned the 1100A for the 1100CK canister dust collector.

Also took the time to pickup a marking knife and bench vice both with a gift card from my son and daughter-inlaw.

Jim

[Jim Becker]

Well...I guess it's a tool...new flannel shirt to keep me warm in the shop!!

Looks like "Santa" was very good to many folks. And Charlie takes the prize for the most impressive "tool under the tree" for sure! (And Carole, you can use that scraper plane quite nicely on the kitchen table since it produces controlable dust and makes no real noise!!)

[Tyler Howell]

Well I had a great year and I was pretty naughty:rolleyes: :rolleyes: .
I got what I deserved.
It was Xmas all year long.
Rod and Charlie, You win!

[Byron Trantham]

Well, I certainly did better than I deserved.

A PC 360VS 3x24" belt sander
Makita corded right angle drill
Tormek sharpener (won't get it until the end of January)
Tormek jigs - three of them
1/2" Lenox band saw blade
dial caliper
50' 1/4" flexell air hose

All in all, I am a very happy camper.

Happy New Year everyone....

[Jim Becker]

Tyler...first time I ever saw Santa bring briquettes!! LOL!! :D :D :D

[Jim Hinze]

WOW!

I read on another forum about a woman who did this for one day. Can I inquire as to how much a day with David Marks might cost? (Not that I can afford it, I am sure.) The lady said it was money well spent, she had a terrific time, David and his wife were very nice, and she learned a lot. What a great deal for you!

Martin,

It's $500/day .. or so my wife tells me. She's been talking with David's wife for a couple of weeks now setting this up and can't stop saying what a nice person she is.

I get to pick the topics which is very cool. I am so looking forward to this...

[Ellie Thomas]

Hi guys,
I might have been the woman on the other forum if it was WoodNet. It does indeed cost $500.00 for 7 and a half hours with a half hour for lunch. David and his wife were most gracious. My topic changed midway through the day because he is so thorough that we just couldn't get it all done. Perhaps another time...:)
Ellie

[Charlie Woods]

My wife, son,( chipped in all his allowance money for the last 6 month's) sisters and my mom all went in together to get me this.:D
3 hp left tilt with 50" extension and mobile base. It came in this afternoon while I was at work. (Pictures ASAP). My wife said that she was tired of me using the Old Craftsman, as well as her wanting me to have more time at the home shop, so I don't have to take my bigger projects to the school shop and work.
One of the greatest gifts I have gotten from my family.:)

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Nice saw!! Congrats on the family's gift, they are very special to want to do this for you.

[LT Dever]

A grizzley 12 1/2 planer,Hey Kelly,The first wood I planed up was some aromatic cedar................I bet it would look good on one of your decks !!!..:D

[Arnie Grammon]

Well I had a great year and I was pretty naughty:rolleyes: :rolleyes: .
I got what I deserved.
It was Xmas all year long.
Rod and Charlie, You win!
Tyler

You were doing well earlier in the year when you bought the PM table saw. But when you started sliding down the electron-challenged slippery slope towards hand planes, it was time for the Kingsford charcoal.

Santa (never met a power tool I didn't like) Claus

:)

P.S. Every time I look at the pic of the stocking with the lumps of (char) coal, I go into another round of ROFLOL. :D :D

AG

[Karl Laustrup]

Actually, Tyler, perhaps Santa is trying to tell you something with the coal. It may be a loooooong coooooold winter and you might need all the heat you can get.

Not a bad gift when you look at it that way. And even if you don't need it this winter, just think of the great steaks it will make this summer. :D

EllieWelcome to the Creek Ellie,
I see you been hanging out for a while. You already know what a great bunch of folks we have here.
We'd love to hear more about your Most Excellent Adventure, and see pictures too.

Kevin,
I've been using the Dillon 550B for about 7 years. Tell me about this Lock-n-Load thingy, and what made you switch?

Maurice

I like the fact that the LNL is larger and easier to get my very large hands into. It also has automatic indexing (more like the Dillon 650). It compares favorably with the 650 and costs less than the 550. It is slightly cheaper to convert from caliber to caliber than the Dillon also.

That said, if Santa had left me a Dillon reloader I would have been just as happy. My brother and my nephew both have 550's and have been very pleased with them.

I'd like to have a Spolar shotgun reloader but just don't shoot enough Sporting Clays these days to justify the expense or the space in my tiny garage. I have seperate reloaders for 12,20,28, and 410 already but the Spolar is a work of art.


Kevin

[Maurice Ungaro]

Kevin,
I'll check that out....not that I'm in the market, but, well...you never know!
Anyway, what I got for Christmas was this: a Delta 28-299, the "Made in America" model, which was replaced by the X5 series. Oh, yeah, it was on close out too! It's being warehoused, as my shop is under construction. Real shop gloat to follow when it all gets assembled.

Maurice

[Jerry Olexa]

Tyler Good pic but you must've been bad in 04 to get coal (briquettes) in your stocking. Good hauls by many of you!!

[Richard McComas]

Does this qualify as a woodworking tool? I use it for planning woodworking.

I got a new UltraSharp 2005FPW 20.1 Wide Aspect Flat Panel LCD Monitor.

It's great!

<img src="http://www.fototime.com/F77886F5C641BCF/standard.jpg" border=0>

[Frank Pellow]

It qualifies. Congratulations, and happy designing!

[Chris Padilla]

Rich, I like the view out the window behind! :)

I don't have any pics (yeah, sue me! ;) ) but I did VERY well this year:

Vertias/LV Low-angle plane w/replacement blade and high-angle blade
Festool 150/3 ROS
Festool MFT1080 + goodies
Festool Jigsaw + copious blades (barrel-grip style)
Festool AT65 + 2700 guide rail + ripping blade
Festool DS400 sander + part to make it an "RS" + sandpaper galore

Uncle Bob did real well this year and many "thanks" to Festool for their free shipping and multi-tool discount.... :D :D :D

I'll post some gloat pics later....:p

[Maurice Ungaro]

Chris,
Finally get to play with that LV Low-angle plane ?

Maurice

[Chris Padilla]

Perhaps after I get done drooling all over my green and black! :) I have so many new toys that I don't know where to start...can someone help? :)

[Ellie Thomas]

Welcome to the Creek Ellie,
I see you been hanging out for a while. You already know what a great bunch of folks we have here.
We'd love to hear more about your Most Excellent Adventure, and see pictures too.
Thanks, Tyler. I will post the picture and what I learned from the David Marks Trip in a new post so as not to hijack this wonderful thread.

Now, to figure it all out and get it on here....

[Dave Richards]

http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=14123&stc=1
Looks like the BBQ is at Tyler's! :D

I'm late chiming in and I have no pictures to prove it but Santa gave me a Veritas saddle square, socks and a pair of slippers. Pretty good haul considering.

The best part was watching my little guy unwrapping his gifts. He sure seems to like to eat wrapping paper. Thankfully only two toys require batteries and make noise. :D

[Frank Pellow]

Thanks, Tyler. I will post the picture and what I learned from the David Marks Trip in a new post so as not to hijack this wonderful thread.

Now, to figure it all out and get it on here....
Welcome to Saw Mill Creek Ellie! The folks here are friendly, knowledgable, and helpful.

[Jon Olson]

Chris,

I'll come help you remove the green and black from your eyes, just send out the call.

WOW! People really made off with some nice gifts!!!!

I received the Lee Valley Dovetail saw and guide system and a roller stand, plus I have $250 gift card to a local Sears from my company that i need to spend. (Router system, planer, what could I need)

Jon

[Chris Padilla]

C'mon by, Jon. The garage is shaping up nicely and I'm going to have a pallet load of F arriving between 1-4 tomorrow. I'll need somewhere to store all this stuff...any room in your shop, er, garage?? ;)

BTW, don't spend that Sears cash on anything that has a rechargeable battery (like a drill, flashlight, etc.) because I have bought my first and last Sears cordless drill. The drill is fine but the batteries won't hold a decent charge after only 1 year of use. Maybe sell your Sears card for $225 to someone and put the cash towards some F?? :D

[Bruce Page]

Mrs. Santa wanted to add some color to my shop, she thinks I have too much PC grey, and she wasn't talking about my hair! :rolleyes:

Both of these will come in very handy - my old 12v PC is getting tired.

[Marshall Harrison]

Wow! Some of yall (that there's a southern word) made out pretty nice. As for me I got a few things:

Craftsman Hybrid tablesaw - Christmas pressent but got it about 3 weeks early to take advantage of 30% off.

Ryobi 3 1/4" hand planer kit

Delta 9" benchtop bandsaw - actually a $100 Lowes gift card that I used to get this

A woodworking book and some WW magazines.

Week off from work wiht wife and kids:)

[Bobby McCarley]

Did not ask for too much this Christmas in the line of tools. Had to pay for wedding for daughter. But the addition of a great new son-in-law is as good a Christmas gift as someone could want.

The one tool I did get was a Ridgid miter saw stand. I got the craftsman sliding compound saw last Christmas and had planned to make a table for it but just could never seem to get around to it. The LOML got tired of me saying I would get to it so she got me the stand. Since it folds up and you can roll it out of the way, it is probably a lot better than what I had in mind to build.

Hope everyone else had a good Christmas and have a good New Year.

Bobby

[Rob Littleton]

Tim, when did Santa start making deliveries with a truck?

Its a Red Neck Santa :-).......the truck has a gun rack too.....

[Scott Coffelt]

I got a bunch of stuff from Lee Valley:

Saddle Square, Dovetail Markers 1:6 & 1:8, Straight Edge, Kelton Handle, Miter Hook, Miter Saddle.

I also got a 3/4 Threader from Beall a Woodcrafter's clearnace item for 1/2 price and a Home Depot $3 deal with a drill hook.

Finally, a nice 11.5 gram 600 chip poker set with case. The case looks really nice, though the drawer fronts will need my TLC as the just pinned them and used hot glue. The first pull and they were off.

But the best present was spending the weekend end with both my parents and my wife's mom.... and enjoying my son's excitement. Oh, BTW, I think I assembled well over 2000 LEGO pieces since he got a bunch of Star Wars stuff including a items with 1100 and 600 pieces.

Anyway, now for my B-day next week.

[Tyler Howell]

Avatar change up time Scott Somebody help him out. Nice Haul Scott and great foot stool!

[Scott Parks]

Nice haul, Scott. The poker set is really cool, although we play with real coins and dollars around here.

Avatar change up time Steve Somebody help him out. Nice Haul Steve and great foot stool!
Well, if that's Scott in the pic, here's an updated avatar.

[Bart Leetch]

I still need to get a motor & switch & make the extension tables & mobile base. :D

[John M. Cioffi]

Hi ALL,

I'm very happy to see all the goddies everyone received.
My Main gift is the Rigid w1450 vac. This is surprizingly good & quiet. Very strong suction.Here is a pic - I hope.
I also got the HF 1/2 ton Arbor Press & the machinist vice from Rockler.
Everyone enjoy your new tools & things in perfect fun & safety>
Happy Holidays to All.
John

[Mark Patoka]

Sorry, haven't taken any pics yet but my wife and boys surprised me with a DeWalt DW705S compound miter saw, a set of Beall Bowl Buffs, a Ridgid flip-top support stand, and some other small stocking stuffer tools. Of course I was also given a mandatory "order" to test out the new saw and make some long overdue picture frames, of which I willingly obliged.

[Roger Myers]

A little late, but I knew I would have to post a pic:)

This was dropped of for me for Christmas by Dave Anderson and was the one gift my wife let me open on Christmas eve....

Now Dave and I are good friends and both active in our local guild...but this gift from Dave just blew me away...

Many of you know that Dave makes some great tools...great to use and a joy to look at...well, the gift was a set of marking tools in snakewood...

This pic does not do the tools justice, but is the best I can do....
Note the CTW Acorn logo on the larger marking knife!!

Roger

[Dale Thompson]

Pic. #1 - I got a tool box to match my slot car track and my golf cart (the cart is not used for golf. At my age, it is kind of an ambulatory convenience :) ), a folding utility knife, an automatic tape measure to retrieve those little nuts, bolts and other things that I am too old to reach and a laser level to try to keep my head straight.

Pic. #2 - A combo sander/finisher that I have been trying to design for years. Unfortunately, she will not be up and running for at least two years. I always said that a two-year old could sand and finish better that I do. History will prove my predictions to be correct! ;)

Pic. #3 - If he can run a QUAD at 16 months, he should be able to take on the "dangerous" operations in the shop in the aforementioned two-year time frame. He gets to run the grinder when it is out of round and needs "trueing". He also gets to run the shaper when we are spinning those 3-4" carbide "fans". :eek: :eek:

Heh! Heh! My mama didn't raise no fools (except for my only sibling). I know that all of my friends on the "CREEK" do not want me to breathe all of those dangerous sanding dusts or the fumes from those toxic finishes. Neither do you want me to lose an eye from the grinder or a hand from the shaper. ;) :) It's nice to have supportive friends. :D

On the other hand, I think that I may have raised a "fool". If my daughter and the infamous SIL (you know who I mean) allow grandpa to be alone with the grandkids in my shop - well - I can't be held accountable!! :cool: :D

Dale T.

[Lincoln Myers]

I received a "Super Knife" the second generation tool. For those of you not familiar, it is a great little tool. It is a hybrid of a folding pocket knife and a utlity knife with replaceable blades. You can read about it here:
http://www.agrussell.com/knives/by_maker/s_through_z/superknife/superknife_sk2_silver.html

I also received the precision miter gauge from Kreg, ala Mark Duginske who designs some pretty nice tools/fences etc. Nice review done on this gauge by Bill Esposito here:
http://www.onlinetoolreviews.com/reviews/kregmitergauge.htm

Have used the knife quite a bit already opening boxes and extracting all the kids' toys from their industrial shipping containers / 10 gauge wire tethers (if you have younger kids with toys, you KNOW what I mean here :rolleyes: )

Looking forward to using the miter gauge soon.

Happy New Year!

[Greg Hairston]

Santa was real nice to me. I got a LN 4 1/2 smoother, and a Tormek for Xmas.

[Chris Padilla]

Okay, here are the proof pics of my Festool mother lode! :) Arrived yesterday! :D

AT65 circular saw and a ripping blade
PS300 Jigsaw and copious blades
ETS 150/3 ROS
DS 400 EQ sander + copious sandpaper
MFT1080 table + a few table items and clamps

I also picked up the 108" guide rail along with the guide rail accessory kit

[Christian Aufreiter]

I have seen the Holy Grail!!! :D
Or I'm in heaven ...

Edit: Did I see two DS 400 Systainers? :confused:

[Chris Padilla]

Good eye, Christian! Yes, I have two DS 400s...his and hers! :D lol...just kidding. I picked up a second one for someone else...to be delivered soon.... :)

[Jack Diemer]

You shouldn't have Chris, but Thanks. You still have my mailing address right?

[John Weber]

Santa was real nice to me. I got a LN 4 1/2 smoother, and a Tormek for Xmas.

Greg,

I think yours is my favorite,

Chris,

What the heck, did you buy stock, become a dealer, or what...

Nice haul, but time for garage remodel pics..

John

[Tyler Howell]

Not the winner but a close contender. Nice Haul Chris

PS. 2 Demerits for Late Pix

[D. Sheldon Best]

Santa Brought A Pc Pk893 Router Kit (fixed And Plunge Bases) And A Couple 1/2 Shank Bits
Ho Ho Ho!

[Jerry Bittner]

Not wodworking I know but I endeared myself with the missus buying her a robotic pool cleaner. She reciprocated by giving me the go ahead for a Woodpecker router table top, a Hitachi M12v with a plunge lift and the baby of babies, a DeWalt 735 planer. All of whichof coure I love expecially the planer.

Sorry no pictures -- I haven't got around to learning that procedure yet.

All in all a great year which started out with construction of a 30 X 24 extension to my garage for a workshop.

I'm blessed as I hope you all are as well.
