Well, my tool shopping spree seems to be exploding. I've been given the go ahead to spend half of my $2400 (after taxes) bonus on tools, with the condition that I build my wife a dining table (http://www.plansnow.com/dntable.html) and chair set (http://www.plansnow.com/chairsdine.html), a glider rocker and ottoman (http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/product_details.cfm?&offerings_id=792&objectgroup_id=499&catid=50&filter=glider%20rocker), and that she gets to spend the rest of the money as she likes.
As you can guess, that plan was FINE BY ME! :)
Anyhow, my list has expanded to include:
Drill Press: Ridgid DP1550 (http://www.ridgid.com/Tools/DP1550-Drill-Press/)
Benchtop Planer: Delta 22-580 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000648AS/ref=wl_it_dp/103-5259670-1404632?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I1TTWFB8VBJ5O8&v=glance&colid=307SK7RUB4Q2F) and Dust Connector (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005Q7D4/ref=wl_it_dp/103-5259670-1404632?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I289G4ELUZFMDD&v=glance&colid=307SK7RUB4Q2F)
Belt Sander: Porter-Cable 362VSK (http://www.ridgid.com/Tools/DP1550-Drill-Press/) and Graphite Shoe (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004SBCA/ref=wl_it_dp/103-5259670-1404632?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I7YZQH6KFWILN&v=glance&colid=307SK7RUB4Q2F)
Router Kit: Porter-Cable 893PK (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000DCBK7/ref=wl_it_dp/103-5259670-1404632?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I34UYG9KJPTVP7&v=glance&colid=307SK7RUB4Q2F)
Well, with the router, porter cable has a rebate available right now that offers either a free edge guide or templet guide set. (Rebate Page 1 (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000DCBK7.01.RB01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg), Page 2 (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000DCBK7.01.RB02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)).
Porter-Cable 42690 Edge Guide (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000222V9/qid=1109269160/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl60/103-5259670-1404632?v=glance&s=home-garden&n=507846)
Porter-Cable 42000 9-Piece Template Guide Kit (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000222V1/qid=1109269189/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl60/103-5259670-1404632?v=glance&s=home-garden&n=507846)
So, my newest question for the creek is: which one should I get?
PS - I can't WAIT to post my first gloat to the creek after I get some of these tools tonight and tomorrow!!!
