John,

I was a bad boy, he brought me a sack of coal.

I'm looking on the bright side though, it puts off good heat!

a nice gift card so i can get some additional jaws for my Nova chuck. i also received 4 wood turning books with new ideals and challenges.  Needless to say i will stay busy. But best gift of all was a phone call from our son in Afghanistan. Merry Christmas to all.

Not exchanging gifts for my wife and I and we pretty much did gift cards for the kids, niece and nephews. Went to Christmas Eve service at church last night then went and saw the movie "Saving Mr. Banks" which was really good. Today will be quiet as we will have my wife's brother's family over about 3:30PST to hang out for a couple of hours and have dinner. They live here in town about 3 miles away. My wife's parents are not here this year (they live in Yuma, AZ which is a 4 hour drive from us) as her Dad is starting radiation tomorrow 12/26. He is 85 and has been having a lot of pain in his shoulder. They thought he may have torn a rotator cuff but it ended up that he has a cancerous tumor on his scapula that is about the 2-3" in diameter. The good thing is that it is of a rare type of bone cancer (600-800 cases per year in the US) and is slow growth with high survival rate. It responds best to radiation as opposed to chemotherapy which is good. But he will have to have about 12-15 sessions of radiation over a couple of weeks so pretty much 3-4 times per week. So we were planning on going out there for a few days, but with his treatment he will be pretty wiped out so we may have to put it off until January some time.

But through it all God is in control. Jesus Christ was born and died on the cross for the salvation of mankind. So it is a Merry Christmas indeed.

I rcvd a 20 v B&D lithium battery cordless drill with a 30 piece router bit set. Hope everyone around the world has a very Merry Christmas, as long as they don't forget what Christmas is all about, Jesus.

I really got something that I needed, a DeWalt 780S sliding miter saw and am now building a coffee table for the family room. So far Love it. Hope everyone has a Wonderful Christmas and a Happy new year

 

One of my Christmas Presents came early. It was the DeWalt planer.

In my stocking I got a Wixey depth gauge.

And my son brought me a beautiful 18 Y.O.

I got the usual gift from family that I usually spend on woodworking of some sort but this year half of it went to bills.

That's ok though, there is still a bit to play with, I wonder what I will get? Probably something along the lines of a few blades for the EWT's I got last year and who knows, maybe I'll get a wood burner myself.

I'm gonna be a goofball here Lee and say about an hour, as that is how long it took me to burn myself with my first woodburner that I got as a kid   I'm really hoping we don't burn ourselves though LOL.

Merry Christmas Everybody

P.S. I really like the snow on the page here, I hope it stays around for a while, after all it is Winter. Said as I exit stage right LOL

As for me, a new set of forestner bits and NEW BAGS FOR MY DUST COLLECTOR - the reason for the shouting (all caps) is that I'm on my last bag and it's just about had it.

Sounds like we were all good boys this year (except Cliff).

On the front flat face of the trigger in the enlarged picture there looks like a round mark or maybe part of a safety.

If you look close, the bottom hole from the side also has a similar mark. This is probably a trigger adjustment screw recessed into the trigger face. I hope that helps and I hope I am correct.

Nice side arm Rich
