schnu Posted November 12, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2014 Hi there, I am not sure if there is already such a topic, if there is please delete this one and I will search again. Anyway I was wondering what you are planning to get for Christmas, or what would be a good Christmas wish. (Preferably something to do with ship modelling ^^) In your opinion what are the best tools and equipment to get for Christmas (for experienced or novice modellers)? texxn5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornet Posted November 13, 2014 Share #2 Posted November 13, 2014 I wish that Jim Byrnes would be made an honorary Santa's Elf and would open a workshop in Australia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landlubber Mike Posted November 13, 2014 Share #3 Posted November 13, 2014 How about Jim's hopefully forthcoming oscillating spindle sander? Rustyj and hornet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted November 13, 2014 Share #4 Posted November 13, 2014 I'm not asking Santa for tools, wood, or books. I'm asking for time. I want a few more hours each day for building.

probablynot Posted November 13, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 13, 2014 Maybe this thread ought to be in the 'General Discussion' or 'Shore Leave' section?Anyway ...My Christmas 'Lust-for' list consists of items I sort of want, but am unlikely to just go out and buy in the next couple of months. The Admiral is fed up with hearing me say how much I want something, and then seeing me order it online the next day!So it has to be things I want (rationally or not) and am unlikely to buy for myself in the next couple of months. Such as:A Ropewalk, and a Serving machine. The ones made by Dormanoff (MSW member) do look very good, but my beloved Admiral freaks out when I tell her she'd have to order online from Russia and pay in American Dollars!A Dremel 4000 with all the trimmings;The Royal Yacht Mary, from Mamoli. But ah, there was a fire, and Mamoli is no more! So I daren't ask for this - the Admiral wouldn't know the best websites to look on, and I wouldn't want her to pay over the odds just for rarity value;Various fine-headed punches. The Admiral now has a long and very specific list of the punches I want!A decent 8-inch Tablet (now that my 2012 Ipad-3 is infected with IOS-8 and everything on it works so-o-o s-l-o-o-w-l-y);Plus, I do need ideas about what I can give as a surprise present to the Admiral. I'd start a thread asking what everyone else was planning to give them, but Admirals have a nasty habit of looking in on MSW and nobody wants to give their ideas away, do they?

GLakie Posted November 14, 2014 Share #8 Posted November 14, 2014 My Christmas wish list consists of every tool Jim makes with all the extras! I don't want much. Cheers Landlubber Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
