A good friend and neighbor recently retired, and I'd like to get him an appropriate gift. Like many of us on TBN, he enjoys spendingtime on his tractors, building stuff, and woodworking. Any suggestions?

When I retired, the thing with the greatest impact on me were the gift cards. Didn't matter how much but that did the trick. Then I could get what I actually wanted rather than what others thought I wanted.
Some sort of fancy tools? Since he's a friend, you should have an idea as to his workshop situation. Maybe a set of really nice chisels. Or if money is no object, one of those nice wood & brass toolboxes with the felt lined drawers (always wanted one of those).
How about a new seat for his tractor, seeing as he will get to use it more often now. Or something along that line. Many new retirees find it difficult to fill the time.. Try and get him something to help with that.

I bought myself a B26 TLB as a retirement gift. Dont suppose you would care to spend that much.
I dont know if your friend is like me, but I can now go thru Lowes, TSC, Atwoods and even Walmart and come out with nothing. About the only thing I buy now is wood or steel for building something, at least now that I have my new TLB and trailer with all the associated hardware for it and the brake controller.
Maybe a good hat that will keep the sun off his neck and ears if he is like me an susceptible to skin cancers.
A cool vest is also good for someone who will work out in the hot sun. (a little pricey though)
