Okay, I remember reading the thread “My latest lust”, I’ve read several threads concerning drooling over Festools and many others just sharing the newest/coolest tool gadget. We like tools…alot!
It makes me figure everyone here must have a mental wishlist of tools that they have been eyeballing for years, just waiting for the project or the deal that justifies the purchase. For some it may be their first handplane, for others it may be their first CNC router.
Probably, it will just be fun to see other’s lists. Maybe you will get advice on the tools you want. Possibly, someone here has the tools you want and can fulfill your wish. Heck, there might even be a miniscule chance that FHB/FWW editors read this and decide to review tools we actually want to know more about (FWW reviewed forstner bits this month!??!?!).
So now I want to know…
WHAT’S ON YOUR TOOL WISHLIST?

I have two wishlists...
The first is based in reality and contains tools I am genuinely in the market to buy someday, the second list is full of tools I know I don't really "need" but seem like they would be "fun".
List 1:
A large air compressor comparable to: Ingersoll Rand 5 HP, 80 gallon, 2 stage air compressor
A 6" Jointer comparable to: Powermatic 1791317K 1HP, 6" Jointer with Helical Cutterhead
A 16-20" bandsaw comparable to: Laguna LT-18 4.5HP, 18-3/4" resaw capacity band saw
List 2:
Victor Jouneyman cutting and welding outfit (extra heavy duty) and a portable tank kit
Woodmiser LT40H 51HP portable Bandsaw mill with hydraulic carrige, debarker, and remote control
ESAB powercut 1250 plasma cutter with 25 ft. torch
Powermatic 37 inch, 20HP, wide belt sander
There's more on each list, but that's good for now.
