sharpening stones - I got a Veritas Mark !! honing jig and it's great. Now all I need are some good waterstones to go with it!

A dust collector would be most welcome. Not only will it keep me alive a little longer - I won't have to spend so much time cleaning the dust off my stuff!

Gotta agree with the other posters. The winner's an impresive piece of work but absurd as a tool chest. The editors seem to be in love with baroque pieces; that's fine but I remember my grandfather (a finish carpenter all his life) who taught me to always keep the purpose in mind. He did inlays and fancy moldings - but only on decorative pieces for show. His tool box was a maple box with dividers to separate tools. I wish I had it today.

I really liked Tom Fidgen's chest as a practical woodworking accessory.
