Hey everyone! I'm approaching my 11th anniversary, and the traditional gift theme is 'steel.' My husband has recently taken up woodworking and he's been crafting some amazing pieces like a piano stand and a play structure for our kids. Now he's venturing into making tables and shelves. I asked him directly what he wanted, but he couldn't pinpoint anything. So, I'm reaching out for your expertise! Are there any handy tools, preferably steel-related but I'm open to any suggestions, that would be great for him? He's currently trying to build an oval kitchen table and is facing some challenges. Thanks for any help!

Consider getting him a 6” steel ruler! It might seem simple, but trust me, it’s super handy, and woodworkers often misplace them. Plus, it’s inexpensive, so you're not risking much if he doesn't end up loving it!
There are tons of woodworking tools made from steel! I'd recommend looking into chisels or planes, but it really depends if he has stuff he already loves. Also, what's your budget like for the gift?
