Christmas Is Coming

Ok, so I'm as early as all the damn commercials on TV, so be it.  

 

There's been numerous threads on here about what to do with scraps.  I was also nearly tempted to post this as my clamp rack in another thread.  

 

In the end, I thought I'd just get the Christmas thread going a little early.  This is only 1/2 of the batch so, I'm glad I got an early start this year!  Next year, the wife and I are going to have a serious conversation about who get's hand made stuff out of my shop!

Looks like an army of little silver-faced aliens.  Nice work man!  You've been busy lately.

 

My little buddy is the only one lucky enough to get a hand-made gift from good ol' Dad this year...that is, IF I can finish the bed before Christmas.  I'll pollute this thread with a picture when it's done. :D

Looking great. What I would give right now to be able to cut a piece of real wood. Don't think anyone would appreciate gifts made out of OSB scraps...

 

lol - But you have a beautiful new shop coming!

 

If anyone's interested, the blanks for those were 2" x 2" x 8"..  Rockler has the scoops for 14 bucks - Good use for your scrap..

Ice cream scoops look like fun to make, I love turning. You've inspired me to make one now.

 

A lot of people are getting hand made stuff out of my shop. I just started this weekend. My list so far

40" turned walking stick (sycamore, walnut) with some scroll work into the bat signal (from batman) along with some carving

2 x Maple/Cherry stave/segmented salad bowls with bloodwood accents

2 pens for teachers my mother works with

1 Jewelry box

1 Box elder fruit bowl

 

My lathe is usually my busiest tool
