Gorilla Gripper

Here's something you may not know--every woodworker struggles when moving sheets of plywood or other sheet goods into, out of or around the shop. There's just no easy way to handle the awkward pieces easily; this is until now. Here's an inexpensive gift that any woodworker would love, and it's called the Gorilla Gripper, which easily grips on to a piece of plywood, melamine, MDF or other sheet materials. Just put it in the center of the upper edge of the piece. It has an easy-to-hold handle that provides much better lifting capacity.

Leather Apron Plane Holster

Lee Valley Leather Apron Plane Holster

Almost every woodworker has a favorite hand plane, used for smoothing or shaping the surface of wood. Planes can be expensive and they should be protected, so how about a leather plane holster? The flip-top back can either form a belt loop for holding the holster in place on a belt during work, or it closes to lock the plane in the holster when it’s being stored. It's made from leather and had brass fittings and protects the plane while being stored.
