johnsilver Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I got a few hand tools for Christmas that I will use to make firewood (er, guitars). - Bailey 14" hand plane (seems very nice, sole plate is dead flat). I will use with my 9 1/2" plane for flattening bodies and neck blanks. - Set of forstner bits 1/4" through 2 1/8" in a wooden box - 24" precision straight edge (used it to check the sole plate on the plane) - a Dozuki pull saw for fine joinery such as fitting set necks - a microplane rasp with handles on each end for shaping necks, etc - a "center finding" ruler - very handy for guitar work Also, received two "power" tools from my sons. - a ColdHeat soldering iron - very cool - a Craftsman roto tool with all the attachments (think I will use primarily for making templates, etc.) Guitar making opens up a whole new world of gift opportunities.
