Aww! Common guys.

Didn't anybody get a camera from santa to take photos of your stocking goodies.

Photos always help with the jealous drooling.

I got myself a Lee Valley LA Jack and three Japanese chisels, beautiful . (Having a white beard comes in handy this time of year). Now where did I put that camera.

Oh yes, if you add the forum 'For Sale' items this year the list looks pretty good;

From Scribbly Gum:
Four chisels, including 2 Witherbys.

From Bloggs1968:
Record 050C plane
Record 071 router plane complete
Starrett 13MC 150mm double squar
Two Shapton ceramic sharpening stones

Thanks again fellas . I need a bigger shed.

Good thread Groggy. Hit those exy LN mortice chisels gently now. Thanks for wish list ideas for next year everybody.

Cheers
