My wife (who has a keen eye) got me a dust-collection set for my router with
different hoods for different applications, and one of those electric
branding irons so I can sign my projects--a woman like that is a keeper!
The project I did as a Christmas gift for friends was also well-received,
now I'll have to drive up to their place and brand it.

As someone who spent most of the first qtr of 09 either in the
hospital or rehab, I can relate.
Hope 10 is better for you.

I asked for some 5" hook and loop sand paper for Christmas, and got a
couple packages from just about everybody. That worked out quite well for
Christmas tools. You never can have too much sand paper, especially when
it takes 2-3 sheets to finish a project.
Didn't get the other tool I asked for, a good quality pencil sharpener.
(Lee Valley's got one for $20.)

My Mum said "I want a power screwdriver that is all mine. Not anyone
else's." She's not getting my Makitas, but I found her a nice Panasonic
for Christmas.
I'll have to borrow it once to see why it's a favorite brand here. ;-)

Started my career working for the National Carbon Division of Union
Carbide.
This was a place that made things from graphite.
As a result, there was graphite dust all over the place even with dust
collection and motorized sweepers.
The graphite dust would get all over your shoes and into the pores of
your skin.
Had a pair of shoes that never left the plant.
Had a 2nd pair that were used for commuting from home to the plant and
back.
Once at home, it was time for street shoes.
It worked for me.

Reminds me of trying to rent a house years ago and mentioning that I would
put woodworking tools in the basement. The owner (female) recoiled in
horror and asked, "Would you be making sawdust?" When I told her yes, she
started screaming and chased us out of the house. Apparently, to her,
sawdust was the ultimate evil.

Mine never bitches about tools and rarely about unfinished projects

because I would have given her plenty to bitch about. Maybe there's a
reason we've kept them around (38 years, in my case). ;-)

3 bucks for a half liter is premium, but the only beer that's worth
it...but only sometimes. It is not a regular maintenance beer.
My life is like that. I enjoy a good burger, but once in a while I
need filet mignon. Once in a while I need to rent a Porsche or an
Arnage. That kind of stuff is a lot of fun, but who wants to have to
keep it maintained and insured...and get nailed with that insane
depreciation? Speaking of maintenance... I think Tiger Woods is about
to find out what that's all about. <G>

That's quite likely true. I have it under good authority that a piece
of multigrain bread, sharpened at the edges and left to dry for 2
days, will work just as well as OddJob's bowler, with nearly all the
kinetic energy of same.
That said, my favorite bread is Franz' Oregon Hazelnut, a multigrain
bread with nuts. Yuckin' Fummy!

How BIG was this cooked pile of flax seed, barbed wire and ultra fibre
loaf and how MUCH did you eat? Eventually, most will use it to cook
the really tasty stuff and that's where the weight will start to
appear.
As I said before, I considered buying one a few years ago. Queried all
my friends that had one and got one universal fact. I'm fat enough.
With a bread maker, and all that great tasting and smelling bread or
pizza dough or whatever, you're going to eat more than you normally
would.

With bread machines, especially if you're using a timer for a fresh
loaf in the morning, the ingredient order is critical. Generally:
Water, fat, flour, sugar, salt with the yeast on top.
But if you're just talking about ingredients, you are wrong. Variation
of ingredients and amounts in baking is entirely acceptable.

Don't know about everybody else, but after a five week stint in the

myself Lee Valley's plow plane with five blades for my Christmas
present. And I think I've earned it. Might as well take advantage of
LV's free shipping that's on right now.

My bread machine is in the cupboard and seldom gets used, but I
replaced my microwave the very next day when the last one died. I
thrive on the use of those things, for rewarming everything under the
sun, including the same cup of coffee 4 times when I'm working. Nukers
are Manna from Heaven, to be sure!

I don't "make" anything in the kitchen. SWMBO owns that territory. I
do know that she follows baking recipes to the letter, other than
fillers like nuts. Yes, she makes a lot of bread, or used to. She
killed a "Bread Man" bread maker so we bought a Cuisenart. She
doesn't like it at all so buys bread.

I wonder how much bread is made on the new 36" high countertops which
are the style in homes today. They're better for prep work, but not
for actual work, like kneading bread dough.

Be prepared to put on the weight. They make great bread and pizza
dough and stuff, but it's usually in amounts of a pound or two and
you'll pack on the weight. That's my only reason for not buying one.

I have had both Panasonic and Makita and they are/were my favorites of all
the other brands I have owned. You may want to give your Mum the Makita and
keep the Panasonic for yourself.

Yes there are the gluten free varieties, if you can find the ingredients.

Yup! especially when you factor in the tough decisions between the
Armangnac and the single malt to go with the Montecristo number 3.

Yep. I have been married to one of those for 42 years. I ended up
wearing down my 14 year old Ryobi 11-1/4" planer while building and
trimming our new home. Now SHE is bound and determined I am going to
get a new Grizzly G0453 15" machine to replace it!
One of my pet peeves is women who constantly put their men down
because they can't do anything with their hands.......and bitch
everytime the guy even mentions buying a tool.

Sure it does. You still need certain ingredients for a reaction, but you can
get variations by changing the quantities or adding other indgredients. If
you are making bread, you need leavening, but you can still change other
parts of the formula to suit your personal taste.

Baking requires a very precise chemical reaction. Like other chemical
processes, the quantity and order of reactions is important. Baking
is essentially chemistry with an edible outcome.

Gosh, ya never know what yer gonna learn here! I was away for a few days
and missed most of the xmas related communications. So, to each of you I
extend a belated MC & HNY to you and yours! Mrs. Santa delivered some "gent
saws" that I saw on saw at Rockler, so I am looking forward to trying my
hand at
cutting some dove-tail joints next year (on scrap at first...). : )

There is more than one ingredient in bread that will put the weight on you.
Butter? Sugar,?
And more butter on that slice of
FRESH......HOT......FLAVORFUL......DELICIOUS.........STUFF from Aunt
Minnie's Potted Livernichol bread recipe. ;~)

Lucky sod. My wife got a chainsaw <grin> - well she asked for one a week
ago. So that's some kind of woodworking tool.
I, on the other hand, got sweet F.A. and that's been the rule for a
number of years now .... <wistful lopsided grin>.
Some people just don't know how to keep a relationship alive, but at
least she's starting to become a decent fencer after a 10 year
apprenticeship and will, mayhap, start attacking some windfalls in the
future once she gets the hang of her new toy ...

Mine doesn't complain at all. She does the "do you NEED it or do you
WANT it" question but if she sees that I need it, I can usually get
it. I did get a WoodWorker 2 and a Ridgid jointer for Christmas this
year so I can't complain.

Of course not. Just as you can't expect just any mixture to come out as
wonton soup. But there's a hell of a lot of variation possible, just as
in baking.
Butter instead of shortening, or olive oil? Changes the texture and
flavour, but it's still bread. Mix white flour with wheat or rye flour?
Different texture, but it's still bread. Change the oven temperature
and/or humidity? Changes the texture and/or crust, but it's still
bread. Bake in a pan as opposed to a stone? Still bread... Change the
amount of yeast. or sugar? Still bread... Leaven with yeast or baking
powder, or not at all? Still bread...
Etc., etc.
I don't think you actually made a lot of bread with your hands. Maybe
just with machines?
The first bread-making machine my wife gave me was a 30" diameter
stainless steel bowl. It's seen a LOT of use. I have a bread machine.
Picked it up for $20 at a yard sale. Works great. It's in the basement,
along with the microwave. They were just taking up counter space.

There is a whole lot more food energy in good breads than you think.
When I'm working hard, especially out in the cold, it shows up a lot
more. Wonderbread will -kill- ya. Force some multigrain down your
throat and you'll feel warmer and be able to work harder because it's
_real_food_, Lew.
Yeah, a lot of multigrain breads are dry. Those made without flour,
oil, and wheat gluten are the worst as far as taste and moisture. So
go with a conventionally made bread with good ingredients.

I did not say "any mixture", I said you still need certain ingredients to
get the proper chemical reaction. Baking soda, baking powder, yeast, sugar,
salt, buttermilk, shortening, all have a job to do. Keep the proportions in
a reasonable ratio and you can change the other ingredients at will. I've

I found a bin at LOwes with a pile of 4-inch "Vise Grips," albeit
Lowes brand and grabbed the three left at $1.98 each. Then, I cut a
pattern guide out of some thin material and used it to rout out a hole
that just fit the little pliers in three chunks of 3/4-inch Mahogany.
Then, I planed down an old (1960 era) piece of "barn wood" that had
some nice figuring and routed out a rectangular opening so as to form
a cover or top for the tool encapsulating Mahogany base into which I
cut a rabbit on all four sides so the bottom section fit nicely into
the Barn Wood top. Putting the two pieces together, I trimmed all four
sides on the table saw, then sanded and finished the little boxes.
I gave them as gifts to a couple of buddies and to my son-in-law.
Nothing great, somewhat of a "gag gift," but fun to make and give. And
at a cost that was hardly noticed.
Not so impressive as the umbrella stand - nice piece - but an idea for
next year maybe.

They make really good bread. Next year you may need the lipo attachment
for your shop vac.

I like my Bosch (Impactor and regular). OTOH, I don't like the
"broken-stick" screwdrivers at all. We have a Milwaukee at work. No
thanks, I'll use a manual screwdriver.

Just a comment but if one doesn't like the look of the bread that comes out
of it, one can let the bread machine do all the grunt work and then move the
dough to another pan and bake it in the oven.

I buy my own tools and tell everyone I know I prefer it that way. In
fact, I prefer that I am the only one that knows about my tools and
that nobody ever sees them. I'd be happy to get a warm plaid flannel
shirt as a gift though, even better if it has pocket flaps to keep out
the sawdust.

I leave a pair of old shoes by the garage door and another by the
entrance to the room over the garage. and *try* to slip them off every
time I come in, but sometimes...

Oh yeah, I forgot the box-set of Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking, that's the
only woodworking gift I actually suggested.

Very nice to have a helper for a few minutes when cutting 4x8 sheets
of ply. I'll take that over any "gift."

Same.
>She also helps without complaint when I need an extra set of hands to

She won't help - at all. I yelled at her once, thirty years ago, when
the RAS was binding. She was "helping" a bit too much (there can only
be one driver).

Never been to a Grizzly store, but ditto.

Theeeeen I scored a Cuisinart Convection Breadmaker.
I know absolutely diddly-squat 'bout those there breadmachines, but it
looks like it could be a hoot.
All breadmakers have one major flaw. They all will make you FAT.

I bought a 12v Panasonic for SWMBO (a little slip of a thing) a couple years ago based on
recommendations here. I have not regretted it, and more importantly, neither has she. Your Mom
will like it, and you might find yourself wondering why you don't have one yourself.

My wife lavishes praise on everything I build whether it deserves it or not.
She also helps without complaint when I need an extra set of hands to
assemble something. And she not only doesn't object when I buy tools (she
knows any big-ticket item I buy has been heavily researched) but sometimes
she suggests getting something I'm just eye-balling. Imagine being married
to someone who wants to know why we're leaving the Grizzly store without
buying something that plugs into the wall? I must have been a really good
person in a previous life to deserve someone like her....
