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. :-) -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

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. -- Steve-o |

Happy birthday kid! Forget the tools, go buy some cigarettes and beer…preferably Camel unfiltered and some Pabst blue Ribbon. -- http://www.facebook.com/pages/DSO-Designs/297237806954248 |

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 :-) -- "Checking for square? What madness is this! The cabinet is square because I will it to be so!" Jeremy Greiner LJ Topic#20953 2011 Feb 2 |
