Delta 22-555 Planer
Knife changes on this planer were easy enough, except that you need an Allen wrench to open the dust cover and gain access to the knives, and it’s not the same size as the wrench used to loosen the screws that secure the knives. The 2-1/2-in.-dia. dust port can be reversed for use on either side of the machine. Two material rollers on top of the machine aid with transferring stock from the outfeed side back to the infeed side. Finally, there is no gauge that indicates how much material you’re about to remove, a convenience that three other planers also lack.
Osmo Polyx-Oil
"If I had to choose one of these hard-wax oils to keep on hand, it would be Osmo Polyx-Oil. It’s relatively affordable and very easy to apply." -Adam Godet
Crown Rosewood and Brass Cutting Gauge
The Crown Tools cutting gauge tightens securely and cuts well, but fit and finish issues make fence adjustments fussy. The thumbscrew can’t apply moderate tension, which would make adjustment easier.

I can't count high enough for all the loose ends. plus needing to clean the shop.
1. Antique oak dresser rebuild a top
2. Seed drawer cabinet - rebuild sides and bottom of case
3. Live edge Pecan slab dining table - glue up and finish
4. Live edge Maple shelf - plane, shorten and hang
5. Pinball machine - glass made too big - create new board for electronics
6. Pinball machine - make new upper cabinet for the oversized glass
7. Hardware cabinet - finish the damn thing so all screws are in one spot
8. Oak/cedar chest - replace hinge - reglue/replace split wood due to kid
9. Pine round slabs - plane and turn into night stands (two of these)
10. Build router plane track so you don't have to rent one
11. Cut all bar chairs down to 23" high so hubby's legs don't go to sleep
12. Cut table legs down to match chairs.
13. Antique armoire- knockdown - oak top I made is shoddy - rebuild this
14. Antique night stand - get the smell out - completely refinish, new hdwr
15. Floating shelves out of barnwood - I have everything cut......
16. I just turned around and looked at the workbench...this is just sad.
I need a time machine. I would use it to turn down some of these projects.
Your entry is not acceptable
You have to give a finite number
If want a chance to win
Well you have beaten me already - just two.
I do keep wanting to start new projects and can't just keep one going, but I limit myself to two and when I start trying to start another I am brutal - If I am going to finish a project, I do that first. Or bin it. Either way - max of two projects on the go at once.
