David,

Nothing in the way of tools or new stuff for the workshop, all I need is more time, then again don't we all.

Eh... you ask the question, but don't give your answer!

Bryan, you hit the very nail on the head ...  time .. and what we missed this past Year .. better fine sunny days.

On that note I hope no member is effected by the rain or flooding, reports are bad for some areas, so I wish everyone is high n dry.

Are you ok with your workshop so far Andy, your not lake side in the car park yet.

Did hope for this to run and a few more posts before I made my own.  Christmas is not far off.

Which chuck are you wishing for so Santa knows, woody.

Cheers     David

Pete, I also agree.

Although I've done very well by my standards this year, I am hoping to increase my sales base over the next year or two. So promotion sounds good.

Maybe a website (but I need a new camera lens first!)

I wanted the new Axminster evolution chuck but there is a long waiting list on them so it has to be the versa chuck with axy  jaw carriers  I did have plenty of chucks in my old workshop but we downsized and my new workshop is half the size of what I had but may I add a lot warmer so I had to sell three of my lather and only two of the chucks fit the lathe I kept

I`m hoping for a couple of bottles of brandy.

Purely medicinal, but my stocks are getting low after trying to drown this stinking cold I`ve had for the last 3 weeks.  :(

I`m sure perseverance with my prescription will pay off eventually.  ???


Wishing you all a happy & healthy Christmas & new year.

Cheers.

Ah a rest, I'm up for that.

Good option there, I've read alot about the fitting or lack of fitting to some lathes, then there's how you lock it should you need to reverse turn.

Oh, Pro Sander that's really nice.

Purely medicinal, what better way.

Cheers.

What do I want Santa to bring me? Well I have all the tools I need(and some that I don't need) my lathe is sufficient but a longer bed on it would be nice, but I can manage. A bit of warmth in the workshop wouldn't go amiss and a few more quid in the pocket would be very welcome. I have lots of fun with my turning and good friends to share it with, what more could I want? ;D
