I didn't get everyone's gifts done. Next year I am definitely starting all this much earlier. Once we're done with the season I'm shifting focus to shop projects so I'm not running around trying to find material and tools. First on the list is a saw bench that kind of looks like a kids split top work bench. That will double as a bench for the baby or a stool, and it will give me a place to work while I build the full size workbench.
I am also pretty excited to try building a spring pole lathe, although after looking around a bit I might go for something that uses a wheel and a treddle. I think a human powered lathe would be pretty handy and a good way to learn how to use the tool.

I also need to build some storage. I saw a cart that held a bunch of scrap and even had a space for sheet cutoff which would be ideal.
Another big (importance not scale) project is some kind of tool cart/cabinet that can give me a place to put the table saw, planer, chop saw, and circular saws when not in use. The table saw has a frame already but the planer and chop always need a spot.
