So what did Santa bring you?
« on: December 25, 2017, 10:20:54 am »

I'm sure we all got lots of presents - what did the big man bring you?

I discovered a load of bits & bobs to get some models moving - motors, speed controllers, propshafts, props, collars and a load of 5-min epoxy.  :embarrassed:

SWMBO has decided we are too old for presents - bah humbug- so I bought my own. A Fairey Huntsman 31 kit.

I only ever ask for socks, but this year I’ve been treated to a trip to Sweden for the World Rally Championship as a VIP guest of Ford M-Sport. I think that’s the best present I’m ever going to get, luckiest git in the universe right now.


Merry Christmas everyone!

We've done this for a few years now. Its the best way of making sure you get what you really want  and not a drawer full of socks  :}

The plan is to rebuild the double garage level with the front of the house and turn the present garage into an office and a workshop behind the new one, extending the present main roof-line over the lot. That'll take up all of our "when we get old" money!
Fingers crossed for no problems with exchange and completion.
Liz says Santa must have seen the SOLD sign up outside our current house and taken our prezzies to the new one!

I like your thinking. If you have a low ceiling in the office/workshop, you could have a nice storage space on top. Enough room to hide the whisky  :-)) and the office will keep warmer, with less heating.

A small but beautifully formed little thing , a miniature but fully functioning low angle block plane with Norris style adjustment. Made in Canada by Veritas, perfect for truing up those small wood pieces. Only 2 1/4" in length

These are beautiful bits of kit - I've got one an use it a lot; they are a pleasure to use as long as the blade is scalpel sharp.


One of my daughters bought me a £25 gift voucher to Cornwall Model Boats - she knows how to keep her dad happy  :-))

Well, I found this in my Christmas stocking.

Not sure whether to display it as a static model, convert it to R/C or simply eat its Mum for lunch.....
