scrollsaw related christmas presents
« on: December 25, 2011, 11:56:20 am »
I was fortunate enough to receive some special clamps, some birds-eye maple, hickory and dark cherry all 1/8" and a puzzle box book can't wait to get the saw dust flying ;D
I love the smell of saw dust in the morning.

I got a bunch of patterns and a variety of blade sizes ... a gross each size.

I expect to see a lot of nice work posted on here DW, especially with that many blades to play with. My daughter loves me so much that I just had to take a picture of one of her presents to me (good job I know she loves me and I love her) Does anyone else have a daughter that loves them this much  ;D ;D ;D

I asked for some $$ for new tools. I prefer to buy them myself, as nobody even has a clue about what I'm doing.

Got gift cards for WoodCraft and Rockler! And new jeans, and a 'birdhouse' to go with my many feeders. More goodies arrive on Wednesday when the kids come in from Colrado!
ALL the gifts I made were well received and received many compliments! S.O. was 'overwhelmed' with the Memory Scrapbook and the granddaughter's likeness on the front.

Best gift of all was to be welcomed last night to the new church I have started attending. Seemed like the thing to do and the timing was right! Also seems 'the BOSS' and I had similar thoughts and they just kind of coincided.

Wonderful Christmas for me and I hope also for every one of my Special Scrolling Friends!

No tools for me, but my oldest boy gave me a throwing tomahawk and my youngest gave me a cotton candy maker.  quite a contrast.

No tools for me this Christmas probably because hubby got me the EX21 for my birthday but got lots of small gifts from my family all given with love and thats what matters most, the love.  Hope you all enjoy your presents.

I got the DVD for Scoll Saw Workshop volume 1 and 2 (up to issue 24)

Since I am new to scrolling these are a nice addition to my library.  It is a little harder to read the articles but it is easy to print the patterns off the DVD.

PS: I also got the pen drilling chuck from PSI.  I had to use last night to check it out and it makes it real easy on your lathe to drill pen blanks even if the blank is not square.  I

It get's better each time I go to the wood shop and then - suddenly - I have to face some "new" problem. But that's just the way it goes  ;)

Naa, it's more about my wife and family here, they hardly can hold a hammer right side up. They need detail instructions on what and where to buy.
My family up in the north is a all craftsman's-family with all kinds of professions - totally different story.
