    Magnets.
    It is amazing the number of places around the workshop that you can use a high power magnet to good advantage. I myself use them to attach various tools to the sides of my Jet table saw. Ie the depth gauge and the ruler. Everything is then in easy reach. Can be really cheap too.
    Another very useful magnetic tool is a base for a dial gauge. Just about essential for setting up saws etc accurately.

    Beware. If you start mucking about with the really strong stuff then be prepared to bleed a bit.

    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

    You could also add a subscription to the "Australian Wood Review" magazine.

    You say you are not into getting cash and a heap of other things which really don't make it easy to buy you a present that you would appreciate. Now how about your rellis all buy you gift vouchers from Carbatec.......then because you don't like gift vouchers, you post them on to me and I'll put them towards the TSC-10HB table saw that I want to buy. That way you havn't got anything that you don't want AND I'll be a very happy man.

    I know the feeling about getting kinda 'useless things' or something that I already have 4 off, but I suppose it's the idea that it is all about. However I have told my immediate family to rather get me a voucher from a toolshop or a gift cheque ( do we have those in Oz?) so that I can buy something useful with the money. Being an ex South African I would like to receive a good quality piece of South African style Beef Jerky. Now thats something different you can ad to your list

    Hope you get what you want!
    Have a good one
