By the way, anyone have a recommendation for a table saw?

If you want to come a bit north, I will give you my old saw.  It has been sitting in the garage for a number of years.  It was working well last time my neighbour borrowed it.

Hmmm, you’re not too far north!  Only 500 miles or so. I could hop on a snowmobile and race up there. .
Back in the ‘60’s , early ‘70’s, the St Paul Winter Carnival hosted a snowmobile race up to Winnipeg. It was quite the deal back then. For us anyways. Not sure about you folks in The Great White North.

Just two things I think should be kept in mind about a table saw.  This is just my opinion.  More people have been hurt using a table saw than probably any other woodworking tool.  That is what the emergency doctor told me when I walked into the emergency room with a bloody towel wrapped around my hand.  It is also the heart of a wood shop.  So I say buy the best you can afford, and although I could not afford one when I got my best, now days if I was younger and more affluent it would be a Sawstop.  Barring not being able to swing that, get the most safety attachment you can.  Splitters are a must have at a minimum.    Grippers are good, I have two. and many other sizes and types of devices to feed stock into the blade.

You did a great job.  He will love it, I promise.  I have made around 20 of them for the various services and given them to veterans I meet.  Some of the most appreciated gifts I have given.  I have even seen tears of gratitude.

Another Christmas gift for my son.  This is a Steve Good pattern.  Cut on 1/4-inch poplar with a 1/2-inch base.  Painted using acrylic paints rather than staining.

Last two ornaments or this year.  Hubby wanted his stained so here are pictures of the two separate pieces and then them put together.  Mine I chose to not stain the main ornament and to just stain the Noel. I really like the contrast the best. These are Steve Good's 2025 Ornaments.

What went under my tree from my shop was ornaments for friends and family to put on their trees.  I gave away about  50 this year.
