My dear wife knows how much I like watching woodworking videos on Youtube. Especially, Woodworking for Mere Mortals and The Carmichael Workshop. I really like both of these channels because I find them entertaining, and they don't take it so seriously. They don't present woodworking as a way to make money, but as a way to be creative and enjoy time in the shop. She bought me several things for the shop for Christmas, most notably, the GRR-Ripper.
I say this is most notably, because it communicates to me that she loves me. I don't tell her about everything that interests me in the shop. But she knows I love WWMM, and she knows Steve is sponsored by Microjig. She also knows I've been using a homemade push stick with my table saw.
She took the time to find something that she thought I'd really like, instead of buying me a tie or sweater. This along with that new strap clamp will be nice additions.
*Now don't misunderstand, she may have ulterior motives. She does keep me busy fixing her antique furniture pieces and making things for her to sell. But, that's ok. It's what I'm here for.
