So I got $175 in Visa gift cards, and I want to use them to buy new tools and supplies for restoring games and such. In addition, I was also given a new orbital sander and air compressor. So for all you game restorers out there, what are some must-have tools of the trade?
 
Just remember you can spend those online-shopping too. Big sales coming up to get rid of Xmas overstock.

That air compressor (what capacity?) opens up a lot of options for you. There's alot of neat attachments for it:

Nail Gun
Staple Gun
Sand Blaster
Paint Sprayers

to name a few....

Nail gun (well, brad nailer for the most part... don't need to be shooting 16d framing nails into your cabs :eek: )
assorted clamps
bench grinder with wire wheel and buffing wheel
good storage / organization
furniture dolleys
cordless drill/screwdriver
rubber mallet
router + bits
profile gauge (kinda like http://www.hartvilletool.com/product/10838) - good for tracing cutouts for radiused things. They also make semi-rgid bendable "snakes" for tracing curves.

just a couple of things.
cheers
