What did Santa bring?

Check out the food cutter sometime. You need to slice some E36 M3.....it will slice some E36 M3.

Those are shadows. From weather balloons. Yeah.

Some clothes, a Spin Doctor Essential Tool Kit for repairing my bicycles, and two bottles of whisk(e)y.

What welder did you decide on?

My wife/fam ordered me an AHP tig. They are on sale now until a new shipment comes in the next month or two. Gives me some time to wire in a 220 outlet and get an argon bottle. Cant wait to try it out.

Family got a PS4 for the living room. Star Wars coffee cup. Sweet @$$ wife got me this:

Food and gift cards to the Wine & Spirit Shop. Think people know me huh.

10 lb rib eye roast. Fixings for my apple pie cupcakes. And all the fixings for a kick but Christmas dinner.

Leftovers are now in the crockpot and my rib eye beef stew is percolating along. Smells fantastic.

Karl, I'd be interested to know how well that works.

I got clothes, a meat slicer and a DVD player for the shop.

Books and very happy kids.

I got a kreg pocket hole jig, sweater, hat, gloves, really awesome notre dame pullover, ninja turtle piggy bank and glass set, way too much stuff

A couple of L.L.Bean zip up sweatshirts, a flannel shirt, a new fancy 5 blade razor,heart rate monitor, a small compressor for the garage, and tickets to the Indy 500.

Got a copy of the book edition of XKCD's "What If", among other things. Got one car related item, but it was a pretty good choice - a DVD of LeMans with Steve McQueen.

Does it have the mouseover text under the images?

Santa was good to me this year.

Got a big ass front sway bar for the Camaro from the GF, a set of Gear Wrenches and an LED work light from my parents, and a cup holder for the Cherokee and shift knob for the Camaro from my sisters. Plus, I brought home enough leftovers that I won't have to cook all week!

I got one of these Husky work tables what can hold a router:

I could borrow my dad's router that's older than me, but I think I should get one of my own. Any suggestions? I looked at the $100 ones at the big box store. Also 1/4" or 1/2" shank? I'd like to use it to make some rabbet cuts to lap joint some cabinet doors. I bought the stacking dado blade but it's vibrating. I should probably re-stack it again...

Yes, but it's only there for about half of them.

I got a spool of welding wire, some welding pliers, and a right angle welding clamp. Gonna stick some more metal together this year!

I didn't get my wife anything .. and when I confessed that to her she said, "good, I didn't get you anything either. I love you!" I think we're a good match.
