Now specifically she asked what I'd like for Phoenix, but I'm thinking more along the lines of what do I need to continue the process ;)
So, as you know, the next piece of the process is the keel. The rabbet is probably where I could use some "additional" tools, I'm thinking along the lines of "stout" chisels, perhaps an addition to my plane collection?
Thanks for your wise advice. Ed

Happy birthday to come.
How about an anchor for the bush. smile.gif
But seriously, what sort of price range is your mum thinking?

LOL, not to sound disrespectful or anything like that, she's 90, and her $ man is ALWAYS telling her to spend $. As to the direct answer to your question, I have no idea, so my thinking is a range of items, and let her choose one (or all, LOL).
Ed
PS: actually the birthday has passed.

How about the type of thing you might not buy for yourself but something your mom might like to know she got for you (and your boat) that you'd keep for a long time and treasure: Chelsea clock or barometer, Lie-Nielsen plane, AGA Corea telltale compass, etc.

While I have to admit she looked particularly healthy in the pics you recently posted, time will win, as it does for all of us. And what would make any mother happier than knowing her son is always able to come to her side, regardless of wind or tide?
Go for a new Yanmar, and all that it implies- tanks, controls, gauges, shafting, a selection of props, and of course controls. :D
Too crass you say? OK, how about some hired help so you'll have a chance of getting it done in time to take her sailing? While I'm sure you're a much faster worker than I, how many years is this project going to take? ;)
Oh. A tool? Hmmmm..... Well, from my college days in New England I remember one definition of a "tool" being a person who studies or WORKS without pause for the pleasures in life. A typical age was 18-22. Male would be good..... yup, that's what you need alright! :D tongue.gif
P.S.- When you're done, can I borrow it(him)?

Might I suggest round trip airfare to come out to the Seattle area, timed with a meeting of the Puget Sound Elbow Bending Society, (Terry Etapa is requesting a meeting soon). While here you could visit the places that Art Read and myself listed on a recent post in this same topic about marine hardware stores out here. During your visit here you could purchase probably any marine item or tool your little heart desires. You could possibly time your visit with one of the upcoming wooden boat festivals that we have around here. Think of it as a cultural exchange Ed. Have you ever heard of the Duck Dodge Ed?
Looking forward to seeing you. Good luck.

Rodger, that would be nice, but I don't think it's in the cards for me - I'm too busy scrambling to make a buck here and there. The robotics gig looks to have promise, but that's all for right now, so hussle, hussle is the word.
As for a sextant, well I've got a nice old Heath, in its original case, and it's got history, too. I've an equally ancient Chelsea clock as well.
Hired help - hmmm that's an idea, but since she won't hire anyone to help her (she's got me, LOL), I don't think that will play. As for speed, Conrad, if you are slower than I you are going backwards, LOL.
Now off line, a moaning chair has been suggested. I've got that, and it's even a recliner!

SKIL 100 power plane (thanks, Dave ;) )
Some sort of semi-random belt sander (scary things they are! Ever seen belt-sander races?)

14" Delta bandsoar (you've seen picts&posts on this)
12"-14" Crapsman floor drill press
Assorted chisels, topping out at 1", mostly newer Stanely, but some were Poppie's - those are narrow, most bevel edge.
Milwaukee Sawzall
3/4" (Big Bertha) B&D drill motor
3/8" Milwaukee
3/8" Makita (9.6 volt)
3/8" Crapsman
8.25" wormdrive (Dumpster Sally)

I usually ask for something that I wouldn't spend the money on myself (i.e. not a necessity).
That said - I REALLY like the Lie-Nielsen low angle planes. I have a #5 and I'm eyeballing the 7 1/2..
And if Mr. Flemming ever made an east coast trip - I'm sure there are a bunch of us who would take him out for rum. Better make if a looooongg trip. smile.gif
Happy B-Day!

What kind of shape is her ship's compass in? I bet she came with a nice one. Does it perhaps need a little tender loving care from a compass restorer? Amazing what those guys can do with antique compasses, but it's not exactly the most pressing job with a full restoration like yours. Just a thought after contemplating the low oil level in the old box compass I'll be using for my little project...

That's exactly what i was about to say... how does anyone live without the multimaster? smile.gif And don't forget the extra blades, which also can add up.
The other thing which I didn't see on your list was a good RO sander, and a good palm 1/4 sheet non RO version. Porter cable makes a nice 6" ro that i have; works like a charm. Or you can get the 6" or 8" Fein if you're donig a lot of work and have the $$. I'm a fan of the makita palm unit though many others like different ones.
Or how about a new Shopvac? Those are always handy and constantly used. Especially good if you have dustless tools.
Or a new comfy respirator--moms love to buy those (since they're related to safety) and they get gross after a while.
Clamps. Can one own too many clamps? probably not.
Air compressor. Always handy.
A small AC angle drill. I'm always wishing I had one as I struggle to fit my full sized unit in a tight spot.
A set of nice Forstner, HSS, or cobalt bits. Last forever and great to have when you need them.
An adze. Even if you don't use it, you can show it to friends and say proudly "this is my adze" and they will say "cool!" :D Store it in a recess and refer to it as your adzehole just to annoy your friends. (You: "pass me the chisel, willya? It's next to the adzehole"
them: "hey, i'm the only other one in here!"
You: "You said it, not me!" and so on) :D

Or how about a new Shopvac? Those are always handy and constantly used. Especially good if you have dustless tools.
Or a new comfy respirator--moms love to buy those (since they're related to safety) and they get gross after a while.
Clamps. Can one own too many clamps? probably not.
Air compressor. Always handy.
A small AC angle drill. I'm always wishing I had one as I struggle to fit my full sized unit in a tight spot.
A set of nice Forstner, HSS, or cobalt bits. Last forever and great to have when you need them.
An adze. Even if you don't use it, you can show it to friends and say proudly "this is my adze" and they will say "cool!" :D Store it in a recess and refer to it as your adzehole just to annoy your friends. (You: "pass me the chisel, willya? It's next to the adzehole"
them: "hey, i'm the only other one in here!"
You: "You said it, not me!" and so on) :D

Yep, Dave's on the money...
Got the Fein MM and vac. Got a Porter-Cable RO (variable speed no less) sander. Have a small collection of cobalt bits (some left handers) and even one Forestner bit, LOL. A bit brace (two actually), a full set of standard bits, and assortment of others, some screw-driver bits too. Oh, and a compressor, several hundred feet of hose (just barely enough so I was able to run air tools on the keel bolts...), and, tho no one has suggested it, a Stanley #113, and a non-brand multiplane too. tongue.gif
I've got some odd special tools for Nortons, a bunch of bicycle tools as well, and a clutch disk aligner for Chevies. Clamps, how could I forget clamps - yep, been asking for clamps for forever. Even got a couple as wedding presents - just cheap "c" clamps if you can believe it.

All those tools are worthless, sitting unused on a bench or in a cabinet. I still maintain what you really need is a good healthy 20 year old male- if only for his summer vacation. Help the economy, have mom hire a deserving lad to keep him out of trouble, and you on track. ;)

I may have to get one of those for my collection.
---
fyi: Lie-Nielsen is coming out with the following:
Set of socketed chisels - I've seen the prototypes, they are very nice.
Set of screwdrivers with thick blades, specifically for adjusting plane screws (frog, totes, etc.) Saw the prototype of those too.
And, I believe they have started work on a mid-size shoulder plane - Clifton has a better selection in this respect.
What I don't know is when all of this stuff will start shipping.

Happy Birthday Ed.
As for tools, I would suggest CLAMPS and more clamps. Good chisels for work on that keel rabbit, etc.
Of course, you may want to take your Mum out to a great dinner, and thank her for your Birthday!

How about a genie that will wave a wand and the Phoenix will be ready to sail. :D
But then again you will miss all the "fun" of restoring her your self.

Well, I don't yet have the answer, but Mum had her barn sale today. We did OK, but we'll have another towards the end of June, and maybe advertise it better (ie details of the stuff, not a single tool junkie showed up). Anyway, I gave her my $750 list of tools (go for the big one, when given the chance, LOL), but I did score big in her sale. More than a few folks contributed stuff, one of them being the guy that does a lot of work for Mum. From him I got one REALLY STOUT extension cord. At least 50', and 5/8" diameter. The second item is a Griswold stove-top waffle iron to use with our old stoves. Both for $10.00! :cool:

You can see a waffle iron under the honey jar. YUM, the very best waffles ever. :D

Edwin, it doesn't matter really what outside diameter of the cord is...what is the GUAGE of the wire?
Should be 12 guage nothing less.
SJT is the type of cable to look for.
Means just what it says in your trusty copy of Machinerys Handbook, folla?

Well ain't nobody likely going to stick 18 Ga wire in cable that big I figured, LOL. After cleaning it up some, and having better light, 12-3 it is, STW I think. Are you proud of this boy? ;)
