I just told my mom what I wanted for my birthday - in September! She will see (that means yes and right now).
Incra 16" T-Rule - to help draw straight lines on wider pieces of wood (I have a 6") Swanson 7" Speed Square - ibid Stanley 18" Combination Square - my 12" is often to short. Don't ask. AND the blade came out of my 12" and I don't trust when I put it back in that it's square. It seems to tip - even when I tighten the screw as tight as I can get it. It also is difficult to squeeze back in. So instead of learning HOW to do this...
I KNEW she would do this...she's so compulsive and can't wait...I'm not like her at all

Parents sure do get a LOT nicer once we grow up, don't they?
Remembering the day last summer when my Dad delivered a brand spankin' new **smallish** wheelbarrow. He noticed the falling apart big metal wheelbarrow I was using and just decided I needed an easier one to use.
Another **lucky** brat,

Yes. They get smarter also.
