About This Video
A hard ceiling of sixty dollars per item. The Olfa Model A 9mm razor, $7. The Harbor Freight wood burner, $10 (also a soldering iron). Shop Class as Soulcraft, $11. Petzl Tikka headlamp, $27 (women find these dorky, men love them; Van stashes them everywhere, car, motorcycle jacket, studio). William Ellery socks, $35. The under-$60 limit is a philosophy as much as a budget: the best gifts are tools, not trophies.
