Official Secret Santa Picture Thread

[Mr Ed]

That looks excellent Gidon. I've looked at that style of open tote in Jim Tolpins Toolbox Book many times, but never got round to making one. I particularly like the holes for screwdrivers at the ends.

Well done Santa, whoever you are.

Cheers, Ed

 

[gidon]

Yes it is - it has chisel slots on the other end. I know who sent it but not sure if he wants it known or not ...
Thanks again SS .
Cheers

I'm really confused about the anonymity thing? The secret is just necessary before the gift is opened?

 

[seanybaby]

I think it's quite fun to guess who the gifts were from.

I sent a leg of lamb :lol:

I received a very nice Lie Nielsen dovetail marker from my Secret Santa, who was Chems (James)

Thanks, James, it's very nice and will get plenty of use.

Cheers :ho2

Thanks very much to my SS, very kind but I would have preferred it if you had made something yourself.

:roll:

Sorry, maybe it's this headache that I've woke up with. But did you really receive that from your secret santa??

Very nice SS gift.

I want to bring your attention to using this marker with a marking knife. Near the top mine has been cut whilst I've used the marking knife, it doesn't affect the performance accuracy, but it's annoying when running the pencil down.

Purely my own fault I wasn't paying attention, just don't want you to fall into the same bad habit, but then only having hand tools you'll be more of an expert :wink:

 

[Chems]

Glad you liked it Paul, I was hoping very much you didn't already have one! I thought you hadn't done anything wrong enough to get something made by me, no body deserves that.


Thanks to Ed from me too, only been on the forum a few months but already feels like a great community I'm part of.

Exactly :wink: :wink: :lol:

Glad you liked it Paul, I was hoping very much you didn't already have one!

This is my very first Lie Nielsen tool - although I understand from others that they can become addictive......

Cheers :ho2

LN No9 will see you sliding nicely down the 'Slope' Paul :lol: - Rob

 

[9fingers]

I think I've decided to avoid all LN tools. Being imported I wanted to check that they did 230 volt versions and I can't find anywhere to confirm that they will work in UK
I would not want to get one only to find I could not plug it in here!

Bob :lol:

Shhhhhhh :-$

I don't think there are too many Santas around giving away £2000 plus Holtey planes.
However I could be wrong :wink:

Happy New Year to you and I hope your back is soon sorted

Best wishes

John

SWMBO finally released my gift on Xmas day, and I received a very nice pair of Kell products - a deluxe dovetail marker and a centre finder. No pics as the camera has run out of charge, and i've lost the charger. D'oh. I've got a nice little collection of brass products going on at the moment (including one of Newts scratchstocks).

Thanks very much SS.

Cheers

Karl

 

[Ironballs]

Hello Karl, this is your SS, glad you like the Kell bits, I did a lot of thinking and perusing as my toolmaking skills and equipment are non-existent!

Certainly nowhere near the skills of Pedder, my SS, he crafted a beautiful saw for me and today I was able to give it a little test drive. Did an unmarked cut straight into a piece of tough oak on a bench hook, gave a very straight cut and left a surface remarkably smooth. This is a most impressive saw and I'm quite humbled to receive it. Thanks Pedder, here are a few pictures

 

[Karl]

IB - thanks for the gifts. That saw looks a cracker.

Ed - many thanks for organising the event - i've started thinking about next years gift already!

Cheers

Karl

Hi Ironballs,

really glad you like it. The handle could be tad smaller, though.

Cheers
