Happy Birthday!!! !!! !!!

can you buy an assistant? (can always use a 3rd hand… and a 4th)

Happy Birthday. You can never have enough clamps!

-- Tim from Iowa City, IA

I would say buy a tool, not a jig or accessory. Have fun!

Happy birthday, Callum! I would say buy a hand tool or a jig.

Happy birthday!!!

Tough question. It all depends on what you’ve already got, and how much you have to spend. But I’m confident you’ll figure it out. :-)

Well you could buy something for your girl friend or you could buy tools.

Hmmmm- girl friend, tools, girl friend, tools.

Yep, tools it is!

happy birthday, you should treat yourself to a nice lie-nelson hand plane you will not regret it.

-- Roper - Master of sawdust-www.coloradocustomworks.com

Happy Birthday!

It certainly depends on what you have and what you plan on making. You might want to consider a really good set of chisels or something. Maybe a jig to make fine jointery… something that you would find rewarding that will last… so in 30-40 years you can say, “I’ve had these since my 15th birthday and I just can’t wear them out.” Buy a nice quality tool now, and when you get older you will really cherish it.

-- As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17) †

Happy birthday!!!

I would agree with Steve on this one. A nice quality tool that will last a lifetime. Veritas/Lee Valley tools always get good reviews and they have a nice website.

Happy Birthday!! I had a birthday not to long ago and I bought a Bosch 1590EVSK jig saw. My wife and kids always give me money so I can get what I want. Have a great day.

God Bless

Happy birthday kid! Forget the tools, go buy some cigarettes and beer…preferably Camel unfiltered and some Pabst blue Ribbon.

Happy Birthday…. Buy some really nice wood and make GaryK’s clamp, that way you’ve bought tools and wood and had fun in the shop making something useful :-)

happy birthday pal.

why don’t you get some more tools and accessories or somet

I couldn’t do better than echo Mark’s suggestion. Echo echo….

And a happy birthday too!

Well, you haven’t posted shop pix yet, so I don’t know what you need, but if you do not have one, a Japanese pull saw (dozuki) is a great tool – you can practice dovetails, etc…

Here we say: ¡Feliz cumpleaños!

Now Callum, what did you really expect the Jocks to say . . . scrapbooking material? LOLOL

Happy one five !!

Geeze I believe I have a T-shirt that is older than you . . . and I’m not that old myself. :-)

Yep, a really nice hand tool. I have my first hammer – over 50 years old. I have some of my grandfathers planes – over 80 years old. Anyway – congratulations.

-- Bruce from Central New York...now, if you'll pardon me, I have some sawdust to make.

Happy birthday young man. If you have $100.00 buy a Lie-Nielsen block plane.

I’m with the crowd on this one—treat yourself to a quality hand tool….or how are ya fixed fer clamps in that new shop of yours?

Happy Birthday!!

-- Patrick, Chicago, IL http://www.TenonAndSpline.com/blog

Happy Birthday!

Not knowing how much money you got, makes it hard to say….

We don’t know what you already have…

Sometimes, you can get some good deals from Amazon, free shipping, etc.

I’ve heard good things about the Rigid thickness planer at HD…

If you’re going to be into doing hand-cut dovetails, a Nielsen DT Saw would be good…

Can you tell us more of what you have, want to do, etc.?

Happy happy birthday Callum!

I agree with others – buy tools——I vote for a good set of chisels (or one or two).

-- Like a bad penny, I keep coming back!

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies!

I am thinking about buying some clamps and maybe a pull saw also a nice set of chissels

Best wishes Callum, buy a tool you won’t forget about.

Happy Bithday Callum…
Wow – what to buy… Just make sure it’s QUALITY and something you will really use a lot. A nice hand plane (i.e., block plane) has been a favorite of mine. Buy one and tune it well and you’ll enjoy it for YEARS and YEARS..! Not sure how much cash you have but a Lie-Nelson or Veritas is money well spent. My Record does a nice job (about $60) but I don’t know if they’re available anymore.

Happy Birthday. Buy wood and make something to sell and then buy the tools. That way you are an Entrepreneur.

Hey Cal, I think our birthday is on the same day!!!! July 22nd….cool… I am the big 50 now :( I am still in Dallas celebrating it, 200.00 bucks dropped out of one of my cards…I was thinking of stopping by the Guitar Center but I could afford a Jet Mini-lathe :)

Playboy.

Or a subscription to your favorite woodworking magazine would also be nice. There’s also a ton of woodworking books out there. Find something that really interests you and study-up! Books last a long time but the knowlege lasts forever. And Happy Birthday!

OK…Better stick with the “woodworking” books for now! Besides, your mom will eventually find your Playboy and toss it out…after beating you to death with it! If your dad finds it, he’ll shame you then steal it. LOL!
