Thomas Dean Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Got to spend 5+ days with all our kids, spouses, and our GRANDSON! Got the book "Werk und Werkzeug des Kunstshmieds" which doesn't take that long to read BUT the drawings and photos really slow you down! GREAT book. Also a hot cut chisel from Kayne & Sons and a gift card to Home Depot. Spent several hours with the youngest son (he's 26) at the forge and helping him with mig welding.

keykeeper Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Got some new DVD's, the usual skivvies, t-shirts, etc. etc. Wife hooked me up with a set of new drill bits for the drill press. (Sniff, love that woman!) But my mother-in-law really shocked me:o--leather welding/blacksmithing apron, welding gloves, and rod holder set; locking welding clamp, several large carabiner clips for hanging tools, and a set of transfer punches. (which was everything I had circled in the Habba Flate ad, and I was planning on going to pick up at the next available chance!)
