    Looks like Santa hung out at Rockler this year

    Discovered under our tree:
    - Crown 8" gent's saw ---- cuts really nice straight lines ----- as my left finger will attest.

    - Rockler mechanical pencil

    - Kreg precision setup bar set ----- perfect for the BT

    - Subscription to Wood Magazine.

    Santa also brought a HD gift card ---- which was just enough to buy a coping saw and some wood to practice dovetails on.

    Santa was good to me this year, really good, but not much in the way of ww gear...

    Diablo 80T 10" crosscutting blade.
    3 @ 4 packs of 12" Quick Grips.

    And a stack of computer hardware to allow me to build a private cloud / cluster using quad core 32GB boxes (my BIL hit black friday sales like crazy). This is a project I have been working and was planning on having done by June. The idea is to build a training environment so I can learn cloud technology, and LOML can learn more about Windows networking and servers...

      I got a double-drive screwdriver set from Lowe's. That's about it.

      Well, I did ask that everyone try to pool together and get me a new camera. I got a Nikon DSLR that I had been wanting for a couple of years. Hopefully this will translate to me taking more pictures of my projects.
      I have a little blog about my shop

        That is really awesome, let me know how that camera works out! I would love to know your experience with it as the mrs. would like one. Hey, don't feel bad, I got a 6 pack of white t-shirts from my mom, the mrs. got me some underwear, but other than that, I got zilch. No band saw this year... We made sure the kids where taken care of first

          The wife got me the same thing along with a socket set that the ratchet extends and works with a similar twist of the handle. Doubt it will handle much torque but it should come in handy working in tight spaces on today's vehicles.

          Oh, and a diamond horeshoe ring to replace the one that was stolen a couple of years ago.

                Well ... after much hinting ... ok ok ... I sent her an email with the link and a huge PLEASE ... I was giddy to receive an Incra LS17WFNCSYS 17-Inch Range LS Super System For Router Table from my wife.

                Haven't set it up yet, still getting the new shop ready for machinery (very close!!) but if I can ever get beyond the learning curve ... it's gonna be a sweet addition!

                  I guess I got everything I needed. A shirt. Pair of jeans. I also got a coffee mug with Sweet Willy's picture on it. Nice. BTW, Sweet Willy is my German Shepherd and my best buddy.
                  In my old age I look back and realize how lucky I was to live in a time when common sense was common.

                    Careful you shoot your eye out with that.

                    Sounds like the kip from A Christmas Story.

                      Not a Rockler item, but I found rolled up under the tree, a cargo mat for the back of my SUV from Weather Tech. Fits perfect.
