Ours is a little different. I'm getting her a wet tile saw, she's getting me a sewing machine. She does art work with fused glass. A tile saw with a diamond blade makes quick work of precision glass cutting. I like to make my own outdoor equipment, like tents, packs, etc. A normal home sewing machine isn't capable of going through heavy webbing and layers of nylon so I want a heavy duty one that can handle the job.
