I've started another thread for photos only, please keep all other posts here - it makes it easier for future searches for pictures.
We'll try to sort out any missing ones in the new year.

My Santa made this amazing marking gauge out of Ash / Elm (I'm assuming). Top quality workmanship and it looks stunning and works really well. A box of pencils came with it as well and some instructions. I'm still baffled by how well it has been made.

Very pleased

Thank you Santa.

Well I'm a very spoiled lucky boy, packaged very well with two envelopes

Once I took everything out I realised just how lucky I am

Absolutely love the wrapping paper, I've had a love of nature and animals, especially Badgers, since childhood. Anyway, back to the gifts,
-first I opened the heavier one and found something I've been wanting to get myself for a while, an oval skew, the one I have is a pita to use, the edges constantly dig into my tool rest making it hard to learn to use it properly so thank-you Santa it's a very much appreciated gift
Then I opened the cube and square tube as they were the lighter ones and found a thermal mug kit and a thermal bottle kit, I've seen a few YT vids of these and thought it would be cool to try so again a perfect choice from Santa.
Next I opened the smallest one and found a party game which SWMBO tells me we will be trying out later
Finally the last one was barely unwrapped when it disappeared from my hands and I'm told that SWMBO is very grateful for her present

Merry Christmas everyone I hope you all get as spoiled as me

Best present in the whole wide world, that one last tool to attain perfection. Now you just have to figure out how to use it! I love my skews.

But only if @Stigmorgan ’s wife gives it back. I assume that was the one she nabbed.

I keep dropping in to see if any other gifts have been revealed, including my own.

I hope my recipient, received my gift and all is well. No word yet.

Tony.

PS - Turkey curry for tea.

Think there are a few still waiting to receive their gift and a few that haven't told @Phil Pascoe if they've mailed theirs yet.

It invariably takes a few days after Xmas for photos to be posted for one reason or another, so no panic yet. I suspect one member has gone awol though.

Starting to worry - hopefully the “missing” presents will show up soon

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I've emailed him.

@Phil Pascoe Now that bushwacker has posted his pics I think we're only waiting for a couple more? Plus @Lefley pics

Just in case anyone from last year hasn't noticed, SS2024 is now live, the thread is pinned to top of the General Woodworking board and there's also a link pinned to the top of the Off Topic board, so head over and join in for another year of being amazed at people's generosity and amazing skills.
