re: what is your favorite tool in your shop ?

Man, I have a lot of tools that I love. My Lie Nielsen chisels on one end of the spectrum and the Shaper Origin on the other. As lame as it might sound, I think my favorite is my Oneida Supercell paired with the GRIT automation blast gate system. I know some might not count it as a tool, but not having to clean up after myself is pretty amazing!
