How bout something from the Incra range - like the Mitre Express and/or some of their lovely Marking and Setout tools?

hi micheal
i would go the other way and stock my bar up with a good bottle of port (penfold grandfathers port) and a nice single malt whiskey a case of red as well as an LN plane

Thanks again for all the suggestions. Farmboy, that is my regular weekly order

Here's what I've decided on. A Colen Clenton 100mm try square, 75mm mitre gauge, and cutting gauge and a set of 4 oire nomi (3,6,12 and 24mm)
No change from $640. But Ive also put in a strong request for the LN anniversary plane so maybe I'll get both!

Thanks again
Michael

For my 40th, a group of mates put in and bought me a 5litre oak keg from a cooper in Bundaberg, which I then filled with port...mostly presents from others. Somehow they knew my penchant for port! Should last a lifetime if looked after (ie. kept filled).

Cheers,

We are flogging off some Para at the moment, lovely stuff, but it's no longer a port is now just Tawny Reserve 1983 cos heaven forbid be upset the Frogs by using their term "Port".
