So what did Santa bring you? I got

[Hardenfast]

... a couple of very nice items. A Vicmarc VM150 chuck and a Kelton multi-sized bowl-saver kit. How did he know that these were exactly what I wanted? :rolleyes:

Hope everyone has a nice break and is able to set aside a little play time.

For once I got something useful in my work secret Santa. Someone got me a bunch of pen kits from Timberbits.

[nz_carver]

I got a new drill & drill bits and a bunch of cash to go towards the next toy to go in the workshop

A Galbert Calliper and a telling-off for going to the shed in "those" clothes.:D

[BobL]

This year we decided no presents between SWMBO and myself but SWMBO insisted on stockings for all (son, DIL, MIL and us 2) so I ended up with a couple of useful things like a mokka pot for camping (half decent coffee is pretty high on the agenda) but nothing WW wise except for a Bunnings voucher from the MIL.

Well, I got a 4 terra byte NAS disk system for our Macs and when I opened it up there was 2 tb missing!!:oo: :oo: So Santa really screwed up and another, hopefully with the 4 tb in is on its way...:C :C :C Where the other disk went, who knows, it seems to have disk-apeared :?

Hamlet square-nosed scraper and spindle gouge, pin jaws for my chuck and a couple of bench screws to add to my workbench when I make it. Oh, and my folks gave me a nice sum of money to put towards more tools, so I'll probably add to this haul soon :D.

I generally get told, "You are not going out in those clothes!!!"

[Jonzjob]

My OH gave up on me and I go where I want wearing what I want. As long as I'm comfortable who cares really. I just try to leave all the bits that should be in the workshop in there :cool:

It works, most of the time and some of the time she disowns me :C

[dr4g0nfly]

I got work braces to hold my trousers up, a new thinsulate hat (it's winter here) and a book on the history of wood and it's uses through the ages and by the worlds various cultures.

Also a promise of a Branding Iron (http://www.toolpost.co.uk/images/Branding.pdf) for my work, when I know what I want it to say.

The thought of you walking out in your birthday suit,,,,,,not be the best image to project. :C

[_fly_]

I got a kick in the pants.
And cos Santa is so generous I got two of them.

[Sturdee]

With the help of my Secret Santa :U I got the balance of the Rubber Chucky's that I wanted.

No more frustrating time wasted making jamchucks by us as the Chucky's will replace that outdated method.:2tsup:

Ray, there may still be a need to make specialised stuff for special occasions but these will be fewer.

I bought some of the Chucky's earlier this year and now got the rest that I wanted. Some of the items are not suitable for here and I found Don, the owner, very helpful in working this out.

Thanks . Makes sense when you see them. I've never used a jam-chuck but I could see myself using some of these.

The stuff one needs to have... it never ends, does it?

[coffenup]

Hi All,
Well I got 2 blocks of Chochy, Dark too, so 1 for my Birthday, 25th, & 1 from Santa.
The Real Pressie, was to be able to set up The Little Woodfast for The Grandsons, from 16 yrs. down to 8.
Fun teaching them, & a little sorry I'm not a bit closer to see how they are copping.
All I can do is cross my fingers & whatever else may help.
I will be in touch though by Phone.

What a great gift, teaching grandsons to woodturn. Also belated birthday greetings, Lewis. So you must get double the presents on Christmas Day.

I taught my kids to fish and now one of them is teaching my grandson who is now eight. I bought him a Leatherman knife with blade and pliers and he used it to get the fish hooks out as he fished to 12-30am this morning. He cut his finger
with the new knife on Christmas Day. I wonder if he is the only kid to ever do that!!!

the box was imaginary also

[Pilchard]

Got a bench router, old fart forgot to include the bench:no:

A Larry kenney fly rod blank and a truck load of sand paper, obviously the misses stalkes my pm's while I'm at work. Early pressies were a gouge and skew, bowl gouge would have been useful too but I'm pretty happy with what I got.

[Mobyturns]

How about some Golden & Com-Art air brush colours. Just have to learn how to use the airbrush now. :doh:

[daryl1]

Santa gave me a new Vicmarc VL200 EVS on a stand. He has had to make a special delivery as it is very heavy. Will arrive in the week of the 7th Jan.

Wow! I thought I did extra well to score the Vicmarc chuck. Who's been a really good boy?
