Having drawn names with extended family for Christmas presents, I'm now called upon for some inexpensive gift ideas for me. Need to give 'me a list. Since I'm so new to this, I thought I'd ask you seasoned old pros for some ideas. What small stuff should I keep on hand? I t Re: Must Have/Keep on Hand items?

Dang. Hit "post" accidentally. I told them about thread (dental) picks. I could always ask for thread, too; can't have too much of that. Just thought I'd see what y'all suggest.
Thanks. Re: Must Have/Keep on Hand items?

Depends on how much you think they want to spend. A set of expanding mandrels would be an excellent gift, some good lighting, whatever you don't have that doesn'T exceed the amount of money they wish to spend. Or have a couple of them go in together if it is more than one can afford. Merry Xmas Re: Must Have/Keep on Hand items?

Kevin, One item your always going to use for rodbuildind is a tabel top 1" wide belt sander for dressing guide feet. I bought mine in LOWES for $39.and I'll never go back to hand filing again, except for the saddle I use a chain saw file. Dennis J. Danku (Sayreville,NJ) Re: Must Have/Keep on Hand items?

Go to your favorite online supplier and go shopping. Add everything you want to your shopping cart then print.
Then print the page and print to file for emailing. Put QTY in for stuff like guides and tops etc.. You can also just ask for the gift cards if they dont care about giving the actual gift. My wife would probably individually wrap a 100 pieces of cork just to be funny. Re: Must Have/Keep on Hand items?

The gift cards will make it easy for people to give you
If they have to go and look for items and sizes as guides or whatever they may get frustrated and give you a piece of coal ?? LOL Bill - willierods.com Re: Must Have/Keep on Hand items?

I've sent an email with some links to specific items, but I hadn't thought of the cart idea. It's just one (maybe two), and we usually stick to around $25 or so, so mainly I was looking for small, inexpensive stuff that I might not think of on my own. Appreciate all the good ideas so far.

Small, sharp scissors. Scalpel with #11 blades. Burnishing tool. Small spatulas. Assortment of small brushes. Cheap BBQ lighters. Alcohol burner. Stainless Dental picks, for marbling. Paper condiment cups, by the hundreds. Scotchbrite finishing disks, for dremel like tools, for smoothing guide feet. Small Triangle file, for inside cork rings. Lotsa tape. Bag of rubber bands. Nitrile gloves, by the hundreds........I'll think of more......

I am not sure where they might be available now, I bought mine from Dale Clemens back in the late 70's or early 80's. They are great if you can find them. I will look and see if I can find them in a google search. Re: Must Have/Keep on Hand items?
