These are the things that I bought with my birthday money or at least the drill press is. The drill press is a Tradesman 10 inch benchtop model. I bought the card scraper holder because it was on sale at Woodcraft for 10 bucks, The stuff in the white box is my upgrade kit for my sign crafter that I bought a few years ago. I ordered it at The Woodworking show in Taylor, MI on Feb 27th. I am looking forward to using it.
I am really impressed with my drill press. I put the chuck on and it is dead on straight. There is now runout or wobble on the drill bit. I picked up the drill press @ Menards for 90 bucks. I am tickled pink with it.

I bought the same holder about a year or so ago. No complaints. It fells comfortable pushing or pulling. I was worried as it’s all wood and might wear. So far it hasn’t. Holds the card firm at the appropriate bend.

Always nice to get a few toys from time to time! I have more things than I could possibly use. But some of it is my Dad’s tools and “stuff”. Boy, its hard to get rid of that. I am glad that the DP is true, makes a great addition to any workshop.

That scraper holder inspired me to build something to keep my fingers from getting tired, even if you did buy that one as-is. I knew there were scraper holders out there, but for some strange reason I never though of the obvious solution to built my own. Thanks for the inspiration!

Way to go Buddy, Nice Haul. I’ll bet Nancy’s glad you didn’t come home with a howler monkey or one of those new DC’s from HF, huh?
