Official Secret Santa Picture Thread

[Mr Ed]

This is the place to post those pictures folks.

NB - the existence of this thread does not legitimise opening early, I'm just trying to be efficient!

Thanks for taking part everyone.

If you've opened it early Karl, you'll find all your Phillyplanes infested with worm holes on Christmas Day :lol: - Rob

We always open one present on Xmas eve - normally in the evening, but this time in the morning (as the kids were going mental).

As I knew that I only had one woodie present I decided to open that

A couple of beautifully made gifts from Rob - nice one Rob!

Each is engraved with his initials and date

How do I polish that out and engrave my own details ????? :lol:

Cheers

Karl

(off to put his PP's in a nice warm place away from the worms.....)

I've actually had two pressies arrive from unknown senders.
1) a flush cutting saw - already used this. How I got along without one I'll never know. Thankyou whoever sent that.
2) Ed Joyce's Encyclopaedia of furniture making - again thankyou whoever sent that (could have been a family member but no one is admitting to it).

Here are my presents:

Two wooden Clamps wich are happily welcome to replace some old Klemsia and a bottle of camlia wich I allways wanted to test because it does not interferre with brass like my balistol (gun oil.)

I thank you very much my secret santa whoever you are!

And thank you very much Ed for organizing this fun!

Cheers Pedder

A big thank you to Philly for my marking gauge and birdcace awl, both beatuifully made from African Blackwood. An awl has been on my list of things to make for quite some time, I'm most chuffed. Philly, you're a star!

I'll post some pics when things calm down a bit here.

Now where did I put my mulled wine? :wink: ccasion5:

I opened mine;

A lovely set of small carving chisels from Blister. It fills a gap (and lets be honest theres not many!) in my tool collection for carving tools, so I'm delighted.

Thanks Allen

All the best, Ed

Morning guys. I got a lovely Japanese saw from Woody. Thanks very much Woody, I've never used one before so I'm looking forward to paying with it.

I also hauled an AI Dovetail Chisel (9mm), an aircap respirator and a tack cloth More to come later, I'm told.

 

[John Smith]

My wife opened mine this morning for me as I am working on a ship offshore form the Congo untill mid Jan!
Thanks to who ever sent the Veritas dovetail saw I will look forward to trying it out when I get home. Merry Christmas to everyone.
