C'mon get it out and bolt it to a bench and make some chips, set up your ebay page to search for various brands of tool steel like Fagersta, Bohler and Assab and buy some pieces to sharpen and use.

Hi Eskimo,
I reckon that would make a perfect Mothers Day gift...
Just remember to duck.

I got a mate with disc sander, bandsaws and a table saw whose wife thinks I loaned them to him for his wood yacht project: I'm in Queensland and He's in Tassie.

I buy whatever I want and charge it to our AMEX Card.
Best bit is the account is my wife's and she just pays whatever is on it.
The other option is Paypal goes to my Visa and again she just pays it for me.
Not quite the perfect wife but near enough to make her worth keeping.

Tell her it makes puppies and kittens.
Or smash the box up a bit and give her the ol' "it fell off the back of a truck, literally!!" (which by the way can be true. I very nearly scored a little workbench system on the way to Melbourne when it came off the trailer on the car a many hundreds of meters in front of me. But the bugger had realised and was running back towards me while I was picking it up )
