I'm super excited! Last week I went to the Busy Bee Tools http://www.busybeetools.com 3 day woodworkers tool sale to pick up a few odds and sods. When I got there I discovered a brand new Fuji display that wasn't there the last time I was there. :shock: and better yet - they had a special sale on! :shock: Now you have to know my wife. Once we get into November, she absolutley forbids me from buying just about everything because I ruin all of her Xmas ideas. Well I had an Xmas idea of my own that day. :D $415 later, I'm the proud new owner of a Fuji Semi-Pro 2 gravity fed spray system! Woot! But she won't let me open the bloody thing until Xmas!!!!!!! [headinwall] Am I the only husband suffering from this, or can I find comfort knowing that a few of you are in the same boat as I?

Apparently your not...me had similar situations, then me fired the wife and the problems all disappeared. Go figure eh!

No Rob...you're not the only one...I have a brand spanking new Laguna bandsaw that I can't even set up. I just get to look at the crate all sealed up. Somehow though, my wife needed her birthday gift three weeks early because it was raining (it's a raincoat she wanted) and she thought she would melt without it.

Well I'm glad to see I'm in good company! Lol A Laguna bandsaw huh? Nice! Personally I think it's cruel and unusual punishment. Just imagine if you had told her she couldn't have that rain jacket early..... I shudder at the thought.

On a similar note, about 5 years ago I was watching an ebay auction for a Les Paul Studio with the standard broken head stock. I forgot to bid on it, and kicked myself when it when for about $370. When I opened my gift on Christmas morning, there it was! Three weeks later, it was all fixed and ready to go. Wives can be very sneaky!
