keykeeper Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Several new pairs of jeans, a bunch of new pocket T-shirts, new pair of sneakers, and still have stuff to open in the morning, after Santa makes his visit. I hope the anvil I've been wanting makes it under the tree, but I'm not holding my breath.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten Hammers Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Christmas brought me a day with all 3 kids and 5 grandkids. We celebrete on Christmas eve. I got to spend a 1/2 hour cold forging some dents out of some aluminium mugs for the local theatre folks. Seems they were a bit robust in their toasting and the ( I'm guessing) 24 ga soft aluminium suffered. This work was done in the basement ( in my house shoes). Nice way to spend a bit of time.

John Martin Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I got my welder. Details to come, hasn't been delivered yet. But it's a lincoln stick welder. I also got a respirator, in case my forge acts up again, and that's all for blacksmithing stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptree Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I received a New ooga horn for the blacksmith truck, a clamp kit, a coupon for tools of my choice, but best of all, a day with my 4 children, good food, in a warm safe place. The last is the best one. Merry Christmas all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I told my wife "uh,..... he didn't win the Heisman" she said "well....the guy at the store said he was going to!!" ...... a stainless steel pot for my deer stews and chili and such. I ruined my other porcelin lined one dropping it. ......a Ruger Single-Six .17 HMR revolver....got it early in December but had to call it a Christmas present ...... a beard trimming kit.

divermike Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Fresh brewed coffee, cinnamon rolls, watching the boys tear into the stack, was the best of all, yet the sport jacket, shirts and photo album from my family in Europe and California was great, but the Machete from Gerber, injected plastic handle, was something that really caught my attention, I damaged my last one on my annual trip to Belize. So this years trip is now properly outfitted, but looking at the design got me to thinking, I've got a lot of leaf spring stock.....Merry Christmas to all of you.

Ted T Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Ho Ho Ho, I did good! My feet, knees, and spine are fully afflicted with arthritis. The length of time I am able to work while standing on my feet is limited how long I can stand the pain. So this is what I got; A Metal Bar Stool Type Chair. The stool will adjust to any height that I need. It also swivels 360 degrees. But what makes this stool different from most other stools is that it has a synthetic wood seat as opposed to a padded fabric seat that would catch fire. So with this stool I can Stand/Sit to do my work at the bench or forge. Now that is what I call a functional gift! But it seems odd, but Santa has my same name!

petere76 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 The company of great women, my wife Karen Grace, good health and a morning greeting from my shark dog Jake. A new full face safety shield, a new auto dark welding helmet, really nice one. Bunch of HD tall T shirts. A new Carhart jacket. Upon request, Santa got my wife a small honda Gen set that she can use at the camp, she loved it. A good looking chunk of bone-in prime rib for supper that we will enjoy with some friends that have no place to go for the holiday. A few hot toddies and I'd call this a great Christmas. All the best to you and yours gents. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
