I told mum that I would like a De Walt dril for Christmas. She bought me a Walt Disney one!

G'day.

I asked for a Mercedes.

Sure enough, got a nice 450SL convertible.

It's about 6" long and I had to glue it together myself. It looks nice with a little Santa in the driver's seat.

It's the thought that counts!

Thankfully I didn't get a granddad onezie, close call mind you, but got a nice little 2" precision vice & a 3" DRO Vernier to tuck in my workshop coat, so happy with them.

Did well: got one of those centring dial gauges for making sure your hole is centred. And a digital depth gauge. Helps if you send santa the web page reference!

Merry chrimbo and a happy new year to all

My wife got me socks with "sexy and athletic" written on them. For some strange reason they also have a picture of Homer Simpson in his undies.

Hmm Neil – is she sending you a message here? Maybe less time in the workshop and more visits to the gym?

The gym around here is well equipped with vacuum cleaners, brooms, paintbrushes…
