I liked when we had the vote, but if we can come up with more suggestions like above maybe whomever takes the lead on the next swap may cast the deciding vote.

Would the square have to be "square" or just for decoration? Maybe it could be builder's choice from the previous swapped items…now that some of us have a bit more practice at making these things, they could be worth revisiting. I will be good with whatever the genral consensus is. These things have been useful skill builders and I have gained some tools in the process.
 
I like the idea of dovetail markers. Have the swap be for a basic set of 1:6,1:7,1:8 or something. I've been putting off making those for a while, so a swap sounds like a great idea, it'll get me off my duff about them.
 
What about plane adjusting hammers, if that is even the correct term. I built one to send w/my swap plane, but I will try to build a couple more too, I actually found it more difficult than I would have imagined.
 
Sounds like plane hammers might be redundant. I built one and sent with my plane and then received one from my sender, as well.
 
Plane hammers would be sweet… I was planning on making a small chamfer plane to go with mine but ran out of time.

BTW - Are we suppose to tell the recipient that there is a package headed their way (I was going to send the tracking # but wasn't sure if I am suppose to). Either way, my plane is East Coast bound today, should be there on Thursday or Friday next week! I'm nervous! lol.
