Nice score. I've played a lot of electric/digital pianos and I think Yamaha is about as good as they come in terms of replicating the sound and feel of a "real" piano. Roland is probably a close second IMHO, but not too close. I've got a Clavinova that I've had for about 15 years now.
Congrats!
Nice Scores everyone...
I got a set of 4 irwin clamps 12" :eusa_danc

I got medium sized older brother of this plane
I got a set of three veritas saws, two dovetail and a crosscut. First time the wife and I exchanged in three years. I have to do this more often.:gar-Bi
TWO dovetail saws?? One for each hand? :gar-Bi
Nice haul on the saws.

Got a set of Rockler bench cookies ( wish I would have had these sanding and routing the cutting boards) a Kreg right angle face clamp and rumor has it there bay be some chisels coming from daughter and son in law.
We took it easy for the most part. The misses kept asking what do you want and I just said we have enough besides I know I am going to need some more clamps for when ever I start assembly on a chest I started for her this past spring.

It is hard to shop for me. I usually get what I "need" throughout the year. At Christmas time I really have to think about what I "want." Unfortunately, most of what I "want" falls in the category of when I win the lottery!
Anyway I came up with a few things- like some of you guys I got one of the new Lee Valley dovetail saws. I suspect sales were very strong on that saw this year. I believe one of my kids will be getting me the only other thing on my list- a set of Microplane files. My wife also got me a LV mini round-over plane.
The most surprising gifts we received from out daughter and son-in-law, who are posted to the US Embassy in Libya, were two books by AARP for us to fill out- "from your Grandfather (Grandmother); A Gift of Memory for My Grandchild." So, it looks like sometime in the next year (9 months) I will become a Grandfather, and I guess more of a geezer than I already am!

Santa was really good to me this year...I even got my presents early! The biggest item was obviously the JJP-12 jointer/ planer combo. Plus a 16/32 drum sander to go with it. The most used tool so far though is the Lee Valley 4" double square. Which just shows you not every present has to be really expensive to be worthwhile. :tool:
Which one are you going to mount it on, your Grizzly J/P combo or the Oliver? If the former...I may need to pick your brain on that one... :eusa_thin
$1000 to spend on tools. Yeehaw!!!
