Well. It looks as if we are posting pic's of our Christmas "loot", so I thought I'd add to the gloats.
This was a Neander Christmas for me. I had been wanting to buy a dual sander since the summer, but put it off, and hmmd and hawwwed about it. LOML kept saying "Just buy one and get it over with. How long are you going to look at these"". I still wasn't sure so I put it at the back of my mind.
While doing all of the finish work and fine tuning of LOML's blanket chest. I was getting po'd about the crappy handtools I had. All my handtools are fleamarket quality,low fleamarket quality actually. Some of the chisels I own had been used as screwdrivers and to open paint cans by their previous owners, and they probably should have kept doing that task.
Soooo... I took a catalog and circled a bunch of hand tools and gave it to SWMBO'd and said that these were some ideas for Christmas presents for me.
This was her response.

I must have really been good, or drove her nuts over the Drumsander. She got all of them.;)
In all seriousness, I hope that I can learn to really use and apply these tools. They are beautiful and a joy to use.
