I got a DAB radio (for the workshop! :wink:), a couple of CDs, some clothes (including a pair of steel-toed boots) and a Nintendo Wii (at last!! :D)!
 
The plans to make one of these:

Here's my little Xmas haul

The two gifts at the front are from Woodbloke as part of the Hand Tool Secret Santa. The others are a Clifton 3110 shoulder plane and a jap x-cut saw, with a spare rip blade. :D

Cheers

In my case that traditional winter gift of a stinking cold!
Yeah okay! Computer gear, lots of bottles, boxes of fudge, oh and socks!
But Santa made a massive delivery for my grandson, roll on when he's old enough for scalextric! :lol:

Why wait until he's old enough? I got Scaletrix for Xmas a couple of years back :lol: (and a remote control car the year before, and...)
 
I think he'll definitely be getting one next year!
Just got to come up with the right excuse to the missus!

I got £150 in cash to spend in the workshop, may go in the direction of chip/dust extractor.

Bottle of Port, Toblerone, bottle of Red wine, wood turning book, comedy DVD, fleece.

But I guess best of all, had both my Sons and their girlfriends here all day Christmas day and Boxing day.
 
I got a Trend Tri-Scribe as a ****y prize from my Dad for not getting my Aircap delivered on time. It looks like a handy bit of kit, I've always fancied their tri square too.
 
Apart from Tony's fantastic marking gauge, FC brought me some more Kell shinies...a centre finder and a beautiful little brass bevel gauge. I also had a nice big snail countersink and three of Matthew's new Chattahoochee(sp) green bendy pencils...thanks for the spare Matthew :wink: - Rob
 
No tools for me this year, can't understand what went wrong.

Had a couple of good CD's, some cycling gear for the winter and a lot of washing up.

Must not forget my wonderful SS gifts, over the moon.
 
Now I've had chance to actually look at my encyclopedia I think it'll come in very handy as a reference.
I sold my p/t just before xmas so will be buying myself a late xmas present in the new year - a dw733 :)
 
The obligatory jumpers, and wearable to boot.
An eggcup painted by my 18 month old daughter.
An energy monitor which uploads to my computer so I can be even geekier about saving energy.
And for the workshop my first Japanese chisel and a couple of Matthew's magnetic tools holders, a very satisfying clunk as the former and latter meet.

and a couple of bits and pieces but overall very pleased. Probably the best present was my daughter's reaction on unwrapping the doll's cot I made for here. She instantly went and found a doll to put to bed in it:)

My parents got the kids Scaletrix for Chrismas and they are 4 and 5. Only problem was that they told us that 2 days before we were going out to buy them the same thing :cry: So the kids ended up with Wii Sports Resort from us. Best thing ever. :wink: :wink: :wink:
 
As well as the Veritas carpenters gauge and the dovetail marker from my Secret Santa I got a copy of Joyce and some snail countersinks from the inlaws. From SWIMBO I got a Wixey angle finder and a depth gauge for my thinckneser and a copy of the Toolbox Book (tool porn of the highest calibre ;) )

Then there were three bottles of rather nice Whisky and Rum and a watch I had been after for a while from my parents (who presented it in the middle of a pile of scrap pine and telling me that they had got wood for my present ;) )

Nah, mean is when I tidy up all of the wood and make a box out of it to give them next Christmas ;)
 
I did not get any woodworking stuff for Christmas (apart from my SS) as I had already bought a few small (and light) items in Toronto!:

The book was on special offer and is my bed time reading at the moment.
