Winter Wish List
There is this rumor about woodworkers (I find it scurrilous) that for some of us getting new tools is more important than actually making something out of wood. Now, while I know that this is untrue for 99% of us, I also know that we do like new tools. Personally, because of my unique position, I suffer from an embarrassment of riches in the tool department. But I remember to when that was not so. Laying down the $900 I had saved up for my Delta contractor’s saw with the 50-inch fence extension. (It emptied my savings account.) Walking through 7 Corner’s Ace Hardware and buying my first Bosch jig saw — which served as my “band saw” for the next several years.
