2009 Handtool Secret Santa

[Anonymous]

Got to agree with you Ed. I've really enjoyed making my secret santa present. The only problem will be parting with it once I've finished it.

Slow down guys, I've not even started mine yet

I've started mine. I think. Of course I may need to start it again if it all goes pear-shaped... What's the date again? 8-[

Ed, I was using my marking gauges again today. I use them a lot actually. Normally for marking the centre for spindle turning. But today was for re-sawing on the bandsaw. Thanks again. They're brilliant 8)

My pleasure Tom - glad to hear they get used and are working well for you.

I have yet to make myself a set, as I gave away all the last lot...one for a rainy weekend I think.

I've gone down a different avenue this year, ever in search of a learning experience, which it certainly was. Better not say anymore at the risk of giving things away!

I'm getting there. Made some great progress this weekend. Glad I started early as time always seems to fly just before Christmas. I also started a second one yesterday as I like the look of the first so much.

I knocked up a prototype in pine last night. I think I have the design cracked now, I just need to get some epoxy and then I can try prototype MkII.

 

[TrimTheKing]

I have all the components of mine cut out just over sized and am just heading to the workshop now to make a pine version to get the detail spot on before attacking the good stuff

Hope to have these finished by the end of the week as I am on hols this week, woohoo!

I have made mine, just need to look for a box, if I get time I could make one for it.

 

[SVB]

I've just finished my gift - time to box n post!

Aaargh,

Just spent all evening working on mine. It's in the scrap bin now. I need to re-think my design as it has an inherent weakness. At least I've got time to have another go.

That will leave me 10 days so that's OK or maybe a visit to LV? :wink:
