Well Santa is giving me the same beautiful wife he has left off for me for the last twelve years.. And she has given me everything I ever wanted for the rest of the 364 days of the year. Thanks Santa, the gift that keeps on giving. Oh, and she doesn’t even batt an eye when I buy a Monarch in the middle of the year, Christmas or not.. Yup, thanks Santa for my wife.. JRouche

I wont get a thing and I wont give a thing, thats how my family does it, but we will feast and im looking forward to that, Im trying to save for a cheap digital camera so I can post a few pics here and sell a few things on e-bay.

Nothing.....
I made a heck of a score last month already. Now it is time for the wife and kids.
Oh ya - month of November -
14 1/4 x 72 South Bend Lathe in pieces with taper attachment
18 Troyke Rotary Table
6 cu. ft. vibratory finisher
Lapping Machine
Johnson 14 x 7 Horizontal Bandsaw
10" Bison, 8" Cushman, 6" Pratt Bernard and a couple other chucks I haven't cleaned up yet
and enough tooling to outfit 2 or 3 T&C grinders
I'm sure I missed a few things, but I am still sorting every thing out and cleaning them up
Anyway I just ordered Mama one of those new cool phones that does every thing. Got the boys some new clothes and just need a few toys like a PS-3 to put under the tree now

Funny, I'm getting the same machine. With any luck it'll be in my shop mid day on the 17th. Not a pristine example, but it is a well maintained machine. It's an early model with the single t-slot.
Originally posted by Tim ClarkeMy machine shop buddy has located and purchased a like new, if not unused Sheldon horiz. mill. Gorgeous original condition, even the rubber boots on the universal joints on the table driveshaft are pristene. Since he already has a Adcock and Shipley, the Sheldon will be mine. I will doubtless sometime in the future pay dearly, but there aren't many cherry small horizontals to be had at any price. So while it doesn't exactly qualify as a christmas present, it's pretty close enough for me.

I'm hoping they'll get shipped before Christmas...an older but heavy Wells bandsaw and a cool little German made turret lathe.
Oh...and a "I hope this helps" T shirt

Well, now

If I'm lucky, I'll get about half as much aluminum as one guy around here seems to get. Think I'm gonna look for one of them aluminum trees to grow around hereFailing all that, some heat for the shop would be nice.

I don`t know about being good. But Santa brought me two power feed unites for my mill one for the knee and one for the y axis . Sure was nice of him. And they work good. but like all Chinese tools you have to modify things, not just a quick bolt on as you would think.

A new camera, for being a good boy
A new flight bag, for being a good boy
And a ticket to China leaving on Boxing day, for being a bad boy

So assuming that you have been a good boy/girl, what is Santa bringing you for the HSM shop?
