Having had my own issues in the second half of last year, I can sympathise with your current health issues and the desire to return to daily use of your tools. Best wishes for your continued recovery.

Makita Impact which was a discontinued model I found whilst stocking shelves at work. Got the retail and employee discount.

Just to clarify, it's nothing life threatening but it's really, really annoying because it sometimes changes within an hour - makes advance planning completely obsolete and I only dare to leave the house on what I call a "100% good day". Plus, I thought I was done with it, then it hit me again out of the blue. So I'm getting used as pin cushion again...

I still hope to be able to continue projects and start some new ones in a couple of months.

Kind regards and again, thank you very much for the well wishes!

Hi Charlie,

Wow, that looks like something Spec.Ops. would jump out of to catch some bad guys.

What a terrific trailer! Congrats on that purchase!

Kind regards,
Oliver

Today I bought a CMT 10" calibration disc and a few adhesive sandpaper discs so I can get the table saw set up perfect and use it as a disc sander too. Speaking of the table saw, I picked up the sawstop jobsite saw not long before I joined the FOG along with a bosch gex125-150ave ros.
 
Although, not something directly for the workshop they do aid in making stuff that goes into the workshop.  Some heavier Pfanner Gladiator chainsaw pants for the < 10 degree F days.  Been wearing the ventilation ones for a few months, but those let a little too much air up the rear  [eek]  in the winter.

And a box of 50 Pfanner work gloves because I don't want to run out anytime soon!

Why chainsaw pants over chaps?  Well, when you're out in the woods all day you're spending more time planning a fall and skidding it out than actually running the saw.  Chaps are easier to take off than to put on.  And it never fails that an unseen limb or buck cut needs the saw on it and fatigue + daylight weening might make one neglect the chaps for that cut (I'm very guilty of this).  But I have never felt the desire to ditch the trousers for nature's full ventilation... the family jewels aren't for ticks!
 
Not a pro , just the occasional tree to cut up. Never tried the pants but I have the chaps and find them bulky and awkward. Don't like the straps and such either. The pants look like the way to go.

Your Firmer bevel edge chisels set. Germany  looks just like the Two Cherries set I just picked up.  They were also made in Germany.  So far I love them.

They make them for few manufactures under different names but all have the same quality.
 
The very last purchase was last Friday from two locations.

Does it count if I didn't buy it? This evening I went to collect payment for a recent job and the customer gave me a bonus of an extra $200 plus the 18v Bosch Destroyer brushless kit! Definately could handle a few more customers like that.
