It's not unusual for me to still be working away on Christmas eve ... but
I'm sure something else will come up now that I, for once, have the jump on
things.

Bah humbug. (I get so tired of Christmas before Halloween. I know
retailers get in the black this time of year, but seriously don't rush
the season.)

Although... it sounds like they're hand made gifts. In that case, good
work.

I'm jealous as I can't finish mine until Thanksgiving. At least all of the
stuff I need to buy is done.

Nice job BTW.

Hey, Theo, I long ago solved the Christmas present problem: I buy my
wife's present; she buys for everyone else. I can't get enough shop
time in to wax my damned tables these days, which is bad, with two
bandsaws, a tablesaw and a planer needing assembly, another bandsaw
needing a new belt, and a kitchen cabinet I started last year waiting
for its face frame. That, and cleaning the place out. I've got a full
pick up (small one, though) of debris waiting for my energy to drive
it to the dump. Then there's at least two more loads. If we can go
without any damned family crisis for a whole month, it will get done.

Hi Charlie. I just give everyone some money now, green goes with
anything. But i still like to give the day-in-law and grand-dau
something wrapped.

Gee, I really feel sorry for you, having all those tools in your
shop. LOL i'm at the stage of cleaning out the sawdust and scraps,
just so I can move around in mine. I've got curb trash pickup, come by
once a week and empties my trash can. Any thing large, I chop up until
it fits in the can. haven't made a trip to the dump for years A buddy
got rid of an old car that way. Took several weeks, but he did it.
He's one of my heroes. LOL He moved down to the beach a few years
back, and havent seen him for almost tha long. He had a VW Beetle with
a really radical engine. Scarey fast is probably the best way to
describe it.

Ended up with seven ... two QSWO, and five Arkansas black walnut (where most
of 'em are going back to).

Although I used the M-R and loose tenons (pocket hole joinery would have
been quite sufficient), if there was ever a project for you guys with the
DOMINO, this is it!

So, here's your cue! :)

I'm crushed, imagine swingman actually buying a ready made present.

<shudder>

I would have thought he would have made the calanders of wood. Each date
would have been cut carefully out of contrasting wood on his old, trusty
scroll saw. Each month would have a different, seasonal intarsia landscape.
All finished beautifully with home made shellac squeezed personally from
bugs cultivated in his backyard.

But he IS getting older. The eyes are starting to go. Doesn't have as much
get and go as he used to.

So it is understandable....

I'm probably 90% done, the only things still out are things that are
on order that should get here in the next week or two. I always
finish early.

I've been away from the Wreck for a bit,
and I've missed it. What a wonderful
welcome back to see Swingman's new work
again.

There are a number of people in here who
are always helpful and seem to have a
wealth of knowledge they don't mind
sharing. Swingman is at the head of that
pack.

Nice. I like the understated look, it's very classy.


Where did the idea and design come from?
