Happy New Year, Agnes. Let's make this a year of sawdust.
Least used tool
My least used tool is an old brace and bit hand drill. This was my dad’s (and I think my grandpa’s before him). It is always hanging on the wall but I can’t remember the last time I used it!

I have a few of them as well. You might have seen them hanging on the wall behind me in one video or another. But I bought those to hang on the wall, not to use. I don't even have any bits for them.
What’s Your Least Used Tool (but You Still Keep Around)?
It's my portable electric planer. I bought it with the thought that I'd never need a full size surface planer and I could also use it in place of hand planers. It either takes off too much or nothing at all. I hate it. It's been 2 years and it's just sitting there collecting dust. Especially since I now have a jointer and a 12.5 inch surface planer.

As far as I'm concerned a handheld electric planer is a carpentry tool, not a woodworking tool. I have one as well, and the only time I've used it is on carpentry projects at my mother-in-law's house. Come to think of it, that's when I bought it, on one of those carpentry projects.
Least used tool
This is actually a hard question for me. For context I’m a general contractor who has made several one time purchases of various tools just to get the job done. I understand that this question was posed in the woodworking sense so that rules out a handful. So I am going to say my feather board for my router table probably sees the least amount of use. Doesn’t even make a decent hammer in a pinch.

I can definitely relate to that. I've got one for my router table and one for my table saw. Both of them are just sitting there collecting dust, while I tell myself that I really should be using them.
How are Your Christmas Projects Coming?
I finally got my Christmas projects video up and running. These are 5 projects, some of which are rather unique, which I think will sell. If you're still working on stuff for the local Christmastime crafts fairs, this video might be just what you've been looking for. But then, if you're just looking for some Christmas woodworking projects for home, family and gifts, it will work too. I'm giving some of these as gifts.

@Brad Jones They look great; and yes, bandsaw and planer would make it easier. Great additions to any shop.
