What to Buy???
« on: January 27, 2012, 11:40:39 am »
For Christmas I received a $40 gift card for WoodCraft...

Last week I received a card that announces this weekend they are having a "Bag Sale"...20% Off anything that will fit in the bag you receive when you enter.

I don't do pens or turning so I m looking for ideas. I don't need glue, stains, wood or tools. One thing I will buy is some pocket hole screws.

Other Suggestions?

We all go through sand paper. How about that?  Or teeny tiny drill bits - the type that sometimes break or get lost?  Some spray finishes maybe?  Oh and clamps.  Do we ever have enough??  Hanging hardware for our plaques.  Magnets.  Hum . . . it seems I would fill up that bag pretty quickly! 

Have fun!!! :D  Sheila

 Accessories for a Dremel tool. Sanding sleeves, belts and discs. And everything that Sheila mentioned.

I wouldn't get clock inserts at Woodcraft. Even at 20% off, they will still be more expensive than if you bought them at Sloan's.
I would go for some router bits, or forstner bits or maybe some drill bits. Sanding disks and sanding sheets too.

BINGO!!! Router bits it is!

Just saw a nice set of "Rabbeting" bits in the catalog.(p.39)
$50 for the set less 20% = $40!
All it costs me is the sales tax.

Good Thought, Dan...
