From the looks of this post a lot of folks received some very cool stuff (Pete and Chuck, I'm jealous!)
The Doc really went overboard on wood shop related goodies.
For starters, she had signs made from two antique two-man crosscut saws for the woodshop. One of them reads "quartersawnoak.com", and the other reads "QSO Building". I'll mount the QSO building one on the outside of the new shop, and the other inside. They are even sharp!
She also got me a couple of Wixey goodies - a digital tablesaw height guage to replace one lost in the fire, and a digital height guage for the planer.
Additionally, she stopped by Home Depot yesterday and picked up a nice Ryobi set of 4V Lithium Ion goodies - a small drill, flashlight, powered snips, battery drill/driver and ear muffs. Most of these will go into a portable took kit that I use for household maintenance activities around the farm.
I also received a very, very cool flashlight! Instead of batteries, it stores power in capacitors instead of batteries, and get this - it only takes 90 seconds to fully charge it! Once charged, it will provide a medium intensity light for 60 minutes, followed by another 60 minutes of low intensity light, or 25 minutes of very bright light followed by 60 minutes of low light. Then, only 90 seconds to recharge. Remarkable...
The biggest surprise was that she got me a "Caution - you are entering a "NO SPIN ZONE" doormat for the shop, along with several volumns of the Woodsmith - bound version.
All in all a great haul!
I made her some stuff in the shop - pix to come in the next few days.
