Finishing is always the trickiest part for me. This looks fantastic and I can use the help.

Always eager to learn more. My Mom could use a new table, maybe one of these is just what's needed.

Even though the braking system has been invented it is still not public domain. How is it that an individual can successfully sue a company for not providing a device that they are not allowed to manufacture or use? If they built a brake on their brand of saw they would be sued, if they don't they are sued. Nice legal system. Should never have happened unless the brake was mandated by law, which cannot happen until the patent is up. This is indicative of the larger trend in our society of zero personal responsibility.

I could really use a moisture meter. Getting into turning and I have jumped the gun on some nice lumber. I would be nice to know when it is seasoned enough.

A set of LN bevel edge socket chisels. I think they would even fit in my stocking.

A tough question for sure. My favorite tools bar none are my own two hands. With them I am able to use all of the others and I am able to appreciate the end product on a different level. There is nothing like running your hands over a finished turning or silky smooth table top.

What a true inspiration. He touched us all and will be remembered fondly.
