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.

Ed

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 ????? Laughing

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

Now where did I put my mulled wine? Wink

Merry Christmas santa wink

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 Wink

More to come later, I'm told.
