Not sure how many pics are allowed, or considered acceptable here so if I add too many let me know. I've done a rough sketch for my first woodcarving project. I'm not expecting perfection, more like how close can I get to my target. I'm going to attempt to carve out a pipe tamper that is similar to one that I currently use. We will see. I have a week of vacation coming up next week and am looking forward to slicing wood and stropping some blades. Here are pics of the start and what I am basing the project on:

From an internet series....decided to buy some extra hose.. Needed some glue, too. . And some plastic pipe and a few parts. I cut the 10' pipe down a bit, and then cut the cut-off into a few other parts... I now have some purple, sticky fingers, but...part 1 is installed.. Checked to make sure the hose will screw onto this. Pipe is 3/4" schedule 40..... OK, at the other end of the 8' pipe.. Is the "Hook" that will reach down into the gutter, while I stay on the ground....there is a cap at the end of the hook.. So, with the hose turn up full blast, this is now a sprayer....to wash the leaves and other junk down the gutter toward the down spout. May need to add some "grippy tape" for a handle... Might be safer than me walking around up on the roof....test dry when the weather improves... Glue and the hose were the "big ticket" items....we'll see how it works...

When I started woodworking I heard the phrase about you can never have enough clamps. As you get going you learn real quick, that you can never have enough clamps. We have been making so many cutting boards lately, that I had to add enough clamps to do two more in the set. I was making five at a time, now we will be making seven at a time. If I start making many more than that, I will have to have more room in the shop to put the board while waiting on the glue to dry. I really like the Bessey 1/2" pipe clamps for the cutting board blanks we are making. If you have someone looking for a Christmas idea for you, tell them to get you clamps, you can never have enough.
