Wish list ideas

My wife and I are supposed to give each other and the kids some Christmas gift ideas, but I’m drawing a blank.

I have all the tools I think I need… except a planer, but that’s too steep for a Christmas gift…

Also, my family tends to rely on Amazon wish lists, prob cuz I’m lazy and passed that trait on in this department… :crazy_face: :crazy_face:

Anyway, I’m looking for inspiration. So what’s on y’all’s which list? Say, for between $10 and $100, that might be available on Amazon? Or, if its super cool, elsewhere?

Incra rules!

You use a metric version, right?

It’s amazing what comes up on Amazon for “fancy toothpicks”…

Mostly imperial as that was all that was available here 15 years ago. I have one metric one, but thanks to your question, I’ve just added the 3pc metric set to my cart.

I love their T-squares

Ironically, Herself & I have a lot of imperial rulers due to having hobbies that predominate in 3 countries. Dividing by 10 or Multiplying by 2.54 has become a way of life in this house. So there should be a yellow dot in South Australia too.:grinning:

The entire Evergreen styrene catalog. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

On this note, this is exactly why I convinced my wife to stop exchanging gifts. She buys what she wants when she wants it, I buy what I want when I want it. Win win. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

On a more serious note, I use one of these exclusively for scoring and snapping styrene.

Yeah Craig,
We put up a tree though, then have to explain why there aren’t any presents there too.

Great idea Hollywood, I’d never thought of that.

Fascinating, Craig. I generally use an Olfa cutter, but yeah, I can’t clean my teeth with it… :grin:

I got mine probably 20 years ago from my dentist when I asked if they had any dull tools. This was one of them, and I wasn’t sure what to use it for as the original thought was for carving plaster castings->RTV->resin casting of a block wall for my feed mill.

Anyways I noticed how the plaster peeled off and thought huh let’s try this for scoring styrene. I’ve never sharpened it beyond the first sharping when I got it.

It works for me and MicroMark even sells a knock off version.

i got some old tools from my dentist too. used them for many things, but one - i never shoved them into my mouth.
