There were many for me so I have broken my answer to the question down into several categories:
Best New Power Tool: Ryobi Impact Driver (see http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs...ductId=100049838&N=10000003+90401+527286+1688 )
Best New Handtool: Bacho Scraper (see http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=20094&cat=1,190,43040,43041) I had no idea that hand scraping could be this effective.
Best New Jig: Dowelmax (see: http://www.dowelmax.com/)
Highest Quality New Tool or Jig: Dowelmax. The precision is amazing. It’s a pleasure just to hold the jig. And when you assemble a face frame with 32 dowels spread over 13 feet in a single glue-up it proves that the pleasure extends to using the Dowelmax and the results that can be achieved with it.
Most Innovative New Tool: Dowelmax
Best Tool Value: Ryobi Impact Driver I paid under $100 Canadian for the driver, two 18 volt batteries and a charger.
Most Used New Tool: Ryobi Impact Driver
Most Used Tool: Festool Rotex 150 Sander: This tool just keeps going and oing and going. I have owned it about 4 years and, in that time have put 100s of hours on it (and worn out 4 sanding pads). Mine is the older model. Here is a link to the currently selling model: http://www.festoolusa.com/products/rotex-sanders/ro-150-feq-rotex-sander-571594.html
Best Completed Woodworking Project: Woodworking bench:
Best completed Construction Project: La Becosse:
Most Fun Project: Children’s Log Construction Kit:
Best Woodworking Item Built for Me: The new front door for the main cabin at Pellow’s Camp. This was built by Mack Cameron and Rick Thom at Wood Camp held for a week in the late summer.
Overall Highlight of the Year: Winning a Festool Tool as best project in October Contest on FOG. The winning project was the Children’s Log Construction Kit.
