    One reason she is LOML !!!

    ... so we are watching something on DIY or HGTV or one of them one night some time back and I make a comment that they should be using pocket holes. LOML asks what that is so I explain it to her. Then she asks if I have one of those and I tell her no, but could use one some day.

    Skip forward some time ... LOML calls and asks if the mail came yet. ???
    No, why?
    There is a package coming for you but don't open it.
    Okay, what is it?
    It's a surprise!

    Next day (last night) ... still nothing. Ding dong. UPS

    Well, OPEN IT.
    okay okay
    What the ..... (big grin on LOML face) what made you get this for me?
    Well a while back you said you could use one, and I saw an infomercial about this and I remembered. It looked neat and does so many things.

    She had looked it up on internet and done a little research and decided this is what I needed. Why? Just because ... Yea, the LOML for over 26years now.

    Oh, what did I get you ask???

      If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

                You suck! Congrats on the jig. I got the little baby one as a Christmas gift.

                        You'll find the Kreg to be a very handy and useful tool. I'm sure you already know but your wife is worth much more. Congrats on both!!

                          chop,
                          In some mag or other about three years ago there was a plan to make a chip collector for the earlier Kreg jig, which I have, from a short piece of 2" PVC, an end cap, and a coupler. I made it and it works great with a shop vac attached to it.
                          Sorry I can't remember where I saw it but if youi can't find it, I'll attach a pic of mine.

                            Ditto that!! I can't even get what I want from the wife or kids for Christmas or birthday even when I dog-ear the pages and circle the item with a marker. I even tell them to look in the catalog for suggestions. Bah! You DO suck!!
                            Blessings,
