Let's do a poll of what lathe related item everyone is hoping to find under the tree this year.

I have the Alan Lacer 1 3/8 skew chisel on my wish list and hoping Santa has an extra he can leave under my tree :D

What is on your wish list?

A new set of Harbor Freight chisels,The high dollar ones that come in the wooden box.
I don't now if I have been good enough to rate the $40.00 dollar set though, maybe Santa has a coupon.
Another diamond stone to sharpen them with with.
A new sanding belt to smooth the handles down after I cut 5" off the handles.

Gee, since we use the same turning tool, does this mean I can be mentioned in the same breath as Eagle when it comes to penmaking?

You got the $12.00 set from HF too?
Start exhaling![:D]
 
My list of things that if I don't get, I will buy myself:
Beall Collet Chuck
Dick Sing's birdhouse ornament book
60 degree live center
1/16" Parting tool

Now if a miracle happens, a Tormek.[:p]
 
I took a different approach I used the money that I have saved up from sales bought the stuff I wanted and told the wife I was covered for Christmas.

Standard McNaughton Centersaver
1/2 Crow PM bowl gouge
5/8 P&N bowl gouge
#3 tower jaws for Talon.
 
An Apple 23" HD Cinema Display (uhhhhh.... for looking at pictures of my pens?) [:D]

Woodworking-wise, just supplies this year. No upgrades or equipment. [:eek:)]

Happy Holidays to everybody,
Nancy [:)]
 
A woodworking router combo kit(as opposed to wireless tech)?

I have looked at several, the Porter-Cable Model 694VK and the Bosch 1617EVSPK seem like a nice ones!

Ha, wishful thinking! That's just about for sure out of Santa's price range! [:D] [:p]
 
a bit indirect, but I'm hoping for the willpower to give up the cigarettes. At £5 a pack/day, I could buy anything for my workshop I ever dreammed of!!!!![:(]
 
Just the Barracuda2 Key Chuck System, which I'm pretty sure arrived the other week in the box that I wasn't supposed to see. [:D] Soon I'll be able to mess up even bigger chunks of wood!

Cheers,
Draken
 
I am happy even if I don't get any, my new lathe is more than enough for this year...BUT...I can dream can't I? I'll take ANY of these [:D].

Standard McNaughton coring tool
Porter Cable Router
Hollowing tool
Beall Collet Chuck
PM 3520 bed extension

Simple list right? [:D]

Keep at it and you will succeed. When I quit I thought I found a money tree[:D] It's been 4 years - I still don't smoke and for the life of me, I don't know what happened to the tree and I don't have another expensive vice I can quit [:eek:)]
 
Oh Great !! You two really know how to wreck my Christmas !!!

Eagle, If I don't quit, I may be meeting that Higher Power a bit sooner that I would like!!! ( You too )

..and George, you mean I'm getting NOTHING under the tree??[xx(]
 
My wife always asks me to writer Her/Santa a list of things I want so this year.....

1. Everything I need to start making my own resin blanks (resin, pressure pot, compressor.)
or
2. All the little things I need (Calipers, collet chuck, things like that)
or
3. New pen kits I haven't done yet (Baron, Gentleman etc. plus bits and bushings)
or
4. Money/Gift certificate and I can get the other things myself.

We're in the process of of abandoning the kids and selling the house to move to central California. Once there, there will be a Jet 1100 DC under what ever tree I can find.[;)]

Have you tried watching the Alan Lacer Skew video The dark side and the sweet side? I watched it, practiced a bit, and am now making all my spindle stuff with mostly the skew!

Well I just got an early gift of a new 60 degree live centre, my Paul Huffman Vice is on it's way soon. The only thing I really, really need now is a drill press so the Huffman vice has a nice place to work. LOL. I know, backwards, but so long as I get there, I think everything is just fine. Besides, look at my tag line, maybe I am talented enough. ROTFLMAO
