2020 Secret Santa ......and we're off!

[Garno]

I have just received a Yodel delivery. I have not ordered anything from anywhere so I can only assume it is from my secret Santa. I wont know for certain until I open it on Christmas day. It does not look big enough to be a new kitchen from Doctor Bob.

I'm now missing only one confirmation and I know he logs in only occasionally, so all would appear to be well.

I’ve had the idea, ordered materials, and now waiting for them to arrive to attempt to turn them into something

Your assumption is correct.

Likewise - and, at the moment the successful bits just about outweigh the mistakes!

Had an arrival in the post today

No tree yet to go under so will be waiting patiently on the bookcase

Thanks Secret santa

[Phil Pascoe]

As and when you post your gifts, could you drop me an email, please.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Time is plodding on.

Just for a moment there I had an awful moment where I thought' Christ what happened to Tom's legs!?! And why's he wearing a neon pink t shirt?
Then I realised it was your sofa.
*Shudder

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I'd rather a PM than not know, it's just much easier to file emails.

I'm going good guns. Emptied the shed. Found at least 3 old buckets. 4 various sets of window cleaning tools. Someone's going to be a winner.


Whatever happens.

Just about there, another coat of paint to hide the bodges and it can go in a box for sending. Should go in the post this weekend.

I’m not a big samurai woodworker watcher but this made me laugh. The last one ‘oh yer it’s done and it only took me half as long as I thought’ so wish that was the case when I decide on a project.


Fitz.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

The important one is sorted. I have received mine.

Yaaay. I finished today. Just remember I tried hard and the blemishes are beautiful. I won't be able to wrap it until the w/e though unless gaffa tape and sacking is viewed as festive.

Mine is testing my ability to make mistakes into features at the moment, two steps forward one step back!
I hear how well you hide mistakes is a benchmark for a craftsman though

 

[Phil Pascoe]

That's what professionalism is - knowing how best to cover your mistakes.
