I'd put it in the bank. We all seem to let it go as fast or faster then we can earn it.

I'd buy food. You can't do woodworking if you're hungry.

In the flatwork department, I'd have to say the $100 would go towards wood. I'm reasonably well equipped tool-wise, but my stash of good lumber is pretty small and short.

If we're talking lathe stuff, I'd probably spend it on consumables like bandsaw blades, sandpaper and finish. The wood's free if I'm willing to do a bit of grunt work hauling and processing it.

Believe it or not probably a hand tool.

I could use a low angle block plane and a few odd size chisels.

Then again, I'm getting ready to start Norm's router table. I could sure use the cash for some wood and accessories for it.

Then again, again, I'm completely out of walnut
