So what did Santa bring you? I got
... 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?
Hope everyone has a nice break and is able to set aside a little play time.

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!!
So Santa really screwed up and another, hopefully with the 4 tb in is on its way...
Where the other disk went, who knows, it seems to have disk-apeared 
My ambition is to grow old disgracefully. So far my ywife recons that I'm doing quite well! John.

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

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

With the help of my Secret Santa
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No more frustrating time wasted making jamchucks by us as the Chucky's will replace that outdated method.
