One of those air filtration systems that I can hang overhead. My safety glasses keep fogging up when I wear the dust mask.

Peace on earth.

Kenbo

I could go for one of those Veritas sharpening systems......or maybe just a fruit cake.

smitty1967

Yeah, I'm with Terry on this one....Happy Holidays don't cut it for me. I'm a child of God, and a Christian. I have full respect and tolerance for those who chose not to believe what I embrace, but that doesn't mean I should have to have limits placed on my beliefs. Good on you for bringing that up, Terry. Jesus is the reason for the season.

And if anyone talks to my wife, tell her that a set of rail/stile cutters for the shaper would sure come in handy....

smitty

pianoman

What? on the nineth day you got another planer blade...you mean you got seventeen planer blades...you must be hard on planer blades! Anyway. I`m looking for a Hi-Bird Generator/heater with a remote controll that will turn it on from a mile away...that has a solar charging system for my new deep cycle battery that I have hooked up to a Veryack which runs my routers and saws...this all needs to fit into a GEO Metro incase I need to move to Mexico or Canada or Balli...or Hippi-hill.

Terry, Smitty, And BHOFM I thank you for speaking the truth. You cant have Christmas without Christ.

Now for the question at hand, I am hoping for a new lathe and a better year next year.

Is this WOODWORKING FORUM going to turn into a PERSONAL RELIGIOUS BELIEFS forum? This tangent does NOT belong here, guys.

Please.

But, if that ain't happening then I just want to wish everybody a good Christmas and a better year to come.

I can't think of anything I really need.

I'm buying my own Christmas gift this year - I'm getting an air compressor. I'll try to act surprised when I unwrap it!
