What is on your Christmas wish list?

[bnoles]

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

What is on your wish list?

 

[alamocdc]

A new lathe... preferably a Robust, but I'd settle for a DVR.

 

[fiferb]

I already got mine, a Jet dust collector. I'm also hoping Santa brings a Beall buffing system.[]

 

[bob393]

Thats easy.
I'm asking for money from all for a new lathe.

 

[TBone]

not exactly turning related but hoping for a powdercoat gun

 

[NavyDiver]

1/2" oval skew! [][8D]

 

[ctEaglesc]

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![]

 

[tnhickoryknot]

Hopefully a Nova G3 chuck for the jet mini

 

[kent4Him]

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.[]

 

[txbob]

A new work shop. In Arizona. Considering Yuma or Mesa.

Merry Christmas,
txbob

 

[vick]

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.

 

[punkinn]

An Apple 23" HD Cinema Display (uhhhhh.... for looking at pictures of my pens?) []

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

Happy Holidays to everybody,
Nancy []

 

[panini]

A TORMEK Sharpening System hopefully under the tree...[][]

 

[JDPens]

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! [] []

 

[skiprat]

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!!!!![]

 

[ctEaglesc]

Will power won't work.
Will left and took the power with him.Try a Higher Power.

 

[mick]

1. Beall Collet Chuck
2. LMS 60 degree live center
3. Pancake air compressor

 

[Draken]

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. [] Soon I'll be able to mess up even bigger chunks of wood!

Cheers,
Draken

 

[blodal]

Beall Collet Chuck
HF Lathe Chisel Set
HF Arbor Press
HF Drill Bit Set

 

[Dario]

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 [].

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

Simple list right? []

Keep at it and you will succeed. When I quit I thought I found a money tree[] 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 [)]

 

[skiprat]

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(]

 

[tipusnr]

A Stebcenter!

 

[DocStram]

[seht]

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.

I wish Santa would work some of his magic and I'd wake up and be able to use a SKEW.[]

 

[jb_pratt]

[jcollazo]

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!

[aksarben]

A new 25-200 General Maxi lathe.

Big enough to do what I want, small enough to fit in the corner.

Scott

 

[Rifleman1776]

A new lathe. Powermatic would fit the bill just fine.

 

[Grizzlyss]

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

 

[Jim15]

Wade, thanks for the link. I will watch it and practice some more.
