Choosing a gift for a carpenter in your life can be difficult. Especially when they seem to have everything they need. But for most carpenters, whatever we have in our workshops, there is always a list you can write down in a notebook, an Amazon wish list or just a mental list of cool things to do with woodworking. Now, I don’t doubt there are carpenters out there who have everything they need, but I still have to meet the carpenter who has everything he wants.

Terminals
If there’s one thing you need to know about carpenters, it’s that you don’t have enough pliers. If you missed it, don’t let it stop you! Take a look at your woodworking clip collection and think about it: Hmm, looks like there’s plenty of parentheses, so you should go back and read the last sentence.
So you finally saw the light and agreed that your carpenter clearly doesn’t have enough staples, so what do you buy? As far as the pliers are concerned, there is a wide choice, and some are certainly better than others.
You won’t make a mistake with Bessie Clamps. You’re the Rolls Royce of the world of pliers, and for a carpenter nothing says I love you more than Bessey (well, maybe Festool, but we’ll come back to that later). The reason for this is that it is a high-end product. That’s what we really want, but we’ll never get it because we can’t really justify the purchase when there are other clips available that are cheaper and still do the work of holding two pieces of wood together while the glue dries. But the Besseys are quality. Well done, and they do what they do best.
Bessey KRK2450 K Clamping set for fixed jaws with parallel lip REVO
Fixed 90 degree jaw, ideal for square clamps. Comes with 2 x 24 inch and 2 x 50 inch clamps. The KP blocks can be attached to your workbench and are ideal for quick assembly of your clamps for perfect angled clamping of doors, cabinets, window frames, picture frames, etc.

Safety
Purchase 200 Advanced system
Does your carpenter use many machines in his workshop, such as a table saw, band saw, milling table, spindle machine, planer? Then it might be the perfect gift for them (if they don’t already have one!!!) The handle will help you to use these machines in a safer way. This is a very clever assembly that makes it possible to grip and hold both sides of the workpiece to be cut – which is not possible with a normal pressure rod. I hope the carpenter still has all the fingers in your life. Let’s keep it that way.

Three-speed air filtration system JET
The sad truth is that many carpenters neglect their own safety and health at the expense of other tools and materials in the workshop. Damage caused by dust has been accumulating for years and decades and the introduction of appropriate dust control is often further down the list of projects. I have a JET air filter, and the difference it has made in my workshop is incredible. Like a lot of carpenters. I didn’t think I had a dust problem until I had this. My workshop is now an absolute pleasure to work with.

Do your carpenters sand a lot? You go to your workshop and can’t see through the dust mist? Are they coming in? You might think of his Christmas present. Simply put: A side table is a box with holes that is placed on the workbench. A vacuum cleaner or sweeper is attached to the box and sucks up the dust like sand. The 20 x 40 table offers you a very generous grinding surface.

3M Virtua Safety glasses CCS
The carpenters must be careful with their eyes. If you don’t need glasses or if you don’t wear contact lenses, make sure you wear decent safety glasses such as 3Ms. Don’t put your eyes in danger. If you need prescription safety spectacle lenses, companies like Frames Direct can give you a few prescriptions in most cases.

Power Tools
Festool 574432 Domino connector DF 500 Q set
Well, I don’t think the list of Christmas gift ideas will be complete without reference to Festool. Festool produces amazing, innovative and high-quality power tools. When Festool designs a tool, it always looks for a solution. Although these tools are not cheap, the quality of the construction and the support you get is amazing. I remember the first Festool product I bought, and all the doubts I had were forgotten as soon as I used it. I’m never coming back.
The Festool Domino is therefore a manual power tool based on the principle of floating tent joinery. The tool cuts very precise grooves (grooves) into two pieces and a small piece of wood (dominoes) is used to join the two parts together. If you want to see this in detail, please watch the video below.
For $950 it’s not cheap, but it’s a brilliantly designed tool that will revolutionize the way you approach many of your woodworking projects. If you decide to buy it as a gift, don’t forget to add a box of Dominoes. Festool is like a red pill (matrix reference), after testing you don’t want to go back to it.

18V LXT Lithium Ion 1/4 pilot kit with shock battery
The impact wrench is a great tool, it may look like a cordless screwdriver, but it is much more than just a screwdriver. They work by simultaneously pushing forward with the rotation of the auger, which makes screwing much easier. They are small and compact and even fit into small spaces. It has a cartridge that slips when the pressure is too high, reducing the need to remove the screws. Shock guides use a wear-resistant bit guide. Combine it with this set of shock absorbers for the perfect Christmas present.

Now, by way of confession, I’m a bit of a freak when it comes to my workshop. I like to be neat and organized and I probably spend more time than necessary to make the seminar run smoothly. I hate not being able to put my hand on the right tool when I need it. Does that sound familiar? The organization of your tools is important, and the best place to start is with a well organized plank of wood. Combine it with compatible hooks and your carpenter is on his way to a clean and efficient workplace.

Japanese standard dozuki saw
The Japanese Dozuki saw is an excellent addition to any workshop. Sometimes you have to make a cut that the machine can’t reach. Your carpenter may already be using an English saw, but many carpenters who have tried a Japanese Dozuki will never come back. The biggest difference between Japanese and English hand saws is that they cut under tension, are much easier to follow the line and require less effort to saw.

Veritas blockStandard level
The modest level of the block is a very versatile instrument that is often neglected in many workshops. Can be used for chamfering (chamfering) wood lengthways and widthways. The low angle blade is also excellent for planing buttwood, and the log planer can also be used to finish edges and smooth rough surfaces caused by sawing. The Veritas standard block planer or the low angle block planer will always be highly appreciated by all carpenters.

Small Master 2 Metal detector for woodworking
Carpenters like to give new life to an old tree. Does your carpenter use regenerated wood? In this case, you run the risk of damaging the saw and the planing blades if the wood is hit with an old nail or screw. Using a small portable metal detector as a small handyman saves time looking for small pieces of metal and also saves money because the knife does not need to be replaced or sharpened. It is also useful to find small nuts, bolts, screws, etc. that have fallen on the work floor.

There’s nothing you can’t buy for your carpenter. I’d like to get a nice piece of wood as a present to do something on Christmas morning. This shows that you really thought about it and did everything you could to find a wood supplier in your neighbourhood. But don’t be fooled into telling the recipient that he or she can do something for you now, because it’s a job for him or her and a gift for you.
Website
What you can do for your carpenter is show him his work. There are many options if you want to create a website today, and the good news is that you don’t need to know how to code it. Companies like wix.com allow you to create your own portfolio of professional websites by selecting non-standard themes.
