What tools do you want Santa to bring you?

[Rich Riddle]

To all you good boys and girls, what tools do you want Santa to bring you? To all you less than good boys and girls, good luck.

I only want one tool-related thing for Christmas, one of everything Rod Sheridan has in his shop.

[Dave Zellers]

I already know Santa is bringing me a Dust Deputy Deluxe® 10 Gal!

Can't wait!

[Mike Nguyen]

It will be a SawStop 3hp for me :)

[Peter Quinn]

I've been extra naughty all year in hopes that Santa might bring me a big bag of coal to help heat the shop. Soon as I read we were in for a cold winter here in the Farmers almanac I gave up being nice, its a proactive strategy. Don't need much by way of tools or machines for the shop, and wood doesn't fit in my stocking. Seemed like the only logical course of action.

[Rich Riddle]

It will be a SawStop 3hp for me :)

Santa's got a healthy budget for you; love must be involved.

[Rich Riddle]

Peter,

Doesn't the almanac claim you will be extremely cold as well as wet this winter? A snow blower perhaps?

[Mike Nguyen]

Santa's got a healthy budget for you; love must be involved.

Yes, it's all about love. So you gentlemen out there, make sure to keep your wife happy. It also helped that we got $750 bucks Amazon gift card from American Express and Wells Fargo reward point.

[Rich Engelhardt]

Brother,

If you figured out how to keep women happy, you will earn a lot more than $750 to share the secret. My Santa says she might deliver a lump of coal, if lucky.

[Malcolm Schweizer]

Santa is bringing me a house with a new workshop for Christmas. Top that!!! Working dilligently to close the week before Christmas.

[Ole Anderson]

While a Supermax 19-38 drum sander would be on top of the list, I know better than to ask Santa for something so large it won't fit down the chimney, so a Stanley-Bostitch 23 ga pin nailer is the most I dare ask for.

[bill kaminski]

having asked some questions just now on the forum, i hope that my new(for me) kitchen cabinet works as planned. already got the pocket-hole jig

[Stephen Cherry]

I've been a (expletative deleted) for a good part of the last several decades, one acquaintance of mine says it's been at least 30 years. So I'm hoping Santa will haul some stuff away. And maybe leave a few clamps.

[David Hawkins]

A new Profile Knife Grinder would make a perfect Christmas..... but I know I haven't been that good :D

[Erik Loza]

A Festool track saw (Babe, can you see this?....)

LOL................Rich, does that include the shop cat?

Here he is, Sir Ellington Snodgrass III, or as my daughter calls him, Pookie.

I don't accept Christmas presents any longer, my family buys Christmas dinner in my name for 100 homeless people in Toronto.

It's the perfect gift for me, I don't have to store it or do maintenance on it......Hope you have a great Christmas and receive just what you want..........Regards, Rod.

Rod, what kind of Hammer tool is that? Is that the sliding table saw? I do have one of those. If it gets all your tools, the cat is more than welcome. The winter mice who live in the shop might not like that arrangement; though I have really cleaned out most things from which they can produce nests.

[Matt Meiser]

I don't have much on my list and I'm not super excited about what's there. One item I want I have mixed emotions as I'd like to have the item but don't want to support the company that makes it. I at least suggested an alternate source so if I get it some of the profit goes elsewhere.



?... so a Stanley-Bostitch 23 ga pin nailer is the most I dare ask for.


If you've been good ask for the Grex. I've had both...still have the Grex.

Hi Rich, that's a B3 Winner sliding saw/tilting spindle shaper without the outrigger mounted in that photo.

The cat can have the tools, the kids will just sell them for scrap.........Rod

[Gordon Eyre]

Oscillating spindle sander or a disc/belt sander. Must be a heavy duty one.

[Mike Heidrick]

Kurt Vise Speed handle (really thinking of just making that one though)
Coaxial Indicator/Edge Finder
More nmtb30 tooling holders
Cobalt Drills
Over the air outdoor antenna

[Duane Meadows]

With you, Gordon, on that oscillating spindle sander! Not sure where I would put it, but I'd make room!

[Sid Matheny]

If I had been a good little boy I would have ask for a bigger shop. But .............


Sid

[Joe Shinall]

Ridgid EB4424 Oscillating/edge sander or a new Vega TS fence and I'm sure some small items like measuring tools and some sharpening stuff.

[Alan Lightstone]

Festool Drill. T18 probably.

Unfortunately, my 36V Lithium Bosch hammer drill still works. It keeps going, and going, and going...

[Brian W Smith]

A hundred ton press brake would lift my spirits.Even have room for it.

Brian, wouldn't that size have to be a hydraulic model? If you are going to think, think big seems good.

[Cathie Mylius]

Hi everyone! I'm new here and trying hard to get the equipment gathered up that I need to actually start making things. lol I used to do woodworking with my Dad and loved it so much! He is gone now, though. :( BUT.... I'd LOVE a dado set for my 10" table saw Santa... and a small tabletop band saw... and lots of screws, clamps, jigs and.... rofl Think I better get a workbench and an assembly table built... (need those screws real bad Santa!) It's hard getting started again at age 60 + a little, and you don't have much money, ya know?
Merry Christmas everyone! :)

[Rod Sheridan]

Welcome Cathie, I hope Santa is generous to your shop............Regards, Rod.

[Mark Wooden]

Real time off. I mean the kind where I don't have to run out to work on my "days off". No phone calls, no e-mail, just blessed, quiet, time off.

[Lee Reep]

It will be a SawStop 3hp for me :)

Wow, you have been good! I used a SawStop at the local lumber company to help the kid working there cut some strips off a full sheet of plywood. Really nice saw. I was going to get one this year, but invested in a Festool track saw instead for breaking down sheet goods. But I still see getting a SawStop in the future. I bought a Forrest WWII to give a little new life to my contractor-style table saw.

I am hoping Santa springs for a Festool Domino for me. I'm really hooked on the green Kool-Aid ...

[Cathie Mylius]

Welcome Cathie, I hope Santa is generous to your shop............Regards, Rod.

Thank you Rod! Me, too! First 2 things I need to make are bed frames for 2 of my grand kids who don't have one. Yes, Santa needs to be real generous... lol

[Rod Sheridan]

Well hopefully you're not in that snowstorm, however I guess it would give you shop time if you had power...........Rod.
