here )

I also smuggled in a LN 60 1/2 block plane - gorgeous!

Not a sock or tie to be seen this year - SWMBO thinks I've gone mad!

Just need some wood to practise on.

Cheers

On the woodworking front, I received a Hitachi D10VC2 drill and a copy of "Wood Identification and Use," by Terry Porter. I've only had time for a brief flick through, from which it looks like a well produced book, with some very nice photography.

I intend to use the drill mostly for power sanding bowls on the lathe, it seems to be the only lightweight drill on the market with pre-selectable variable speed. I've actually had it a couple of days now and after trying it out I can say it seems to do the business, but it's made some weird noises and the keyless chuck is a two-ring type with no spindle lock so it's difficult to get a suitable firm grip on round shanked bits.

Other than that, there was some booze, enough chocolate to nullify a couple of months' efforts at the gym, and a TurboTorch will hopefully be on the way soon

Merry Christmas

Woodwork-wise, I scored an Aiptek 12000 tablet (for designing scroll saw patterns on computer) and a Bosch detail sander.

More importantly, His Lordship agreed that in the coming year we should visit the local dogs home for another alsation puppy, and Crufts to contact chihuahua breeders.

Well I have spent a good part of the day playing with a Jet wet grinder, in the shop I now have some very sharpe planes and chisels.
Another son and my dad are visiting tomorrow, will probably have to demo it as they both have a good selection of somewhat blunt tools. :roll:
I have a pair of dovetail gauges (veritas) and some tramels from axminster, to help me on the descent of the hand tool slope. 8)

There is a set of wooden puzzles, I should be OK with these as it says 7+ years on the box so no rush to get them back together. :wink:

Non wood related, Inside Out, a personal history of Pink Floyd, Written and Read By Nick Mason, looking forward to listening to this, probably in the car instead of Chris Evans, I still miss Johnny Walker, must be an age thing.

As a fellow Floyd fan I think that sounds great, although to be fair, sticking forks in your ears is generally preferable to listening to Chris Evans... :wink:

My haul included a 1000/6000 Ice Bear waterstone and some assorted odds and ends including a set of sushi knives and a year's membership to the England Rugby Supporters Club.
