Merry Christmas Everyone!
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the shop
The LNs were all sharpened right next to the strop
Lataxe proposes we stay away from some things
He frowns on frou frou and other furniture blings.
The Marcous were nestled and sharpened in bed,
While visions of them planes dance in Rays head.
Mels mamma in her ‘kerchief, and Mel in his cap,
Is chipping away before taking his nap.
My planes exhibit such an annoying chatter,
Then Derek springs forward to resolve the matter.
Adam claims he can do it in a flash,
Narry a power tool to straighten that sash.
Whilst danmart and Samson pray for fresh snow
EddieFromAustralia works his planes down below.
Long before forestgirl, and Sarge appear,
Why it’s jolly WillGeorge, and eight tiny reindeer.
Regards,
Bob @ Kidderville Acres
A Woodworkers mind should be the sharpest tool in the shop!

Sing to the tune of The Beach Boys' Little Saint Nick:
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Lataxe
Christmas comes this time each year
Oooooooo ooooo ooo
Well, way up North where the hairstyles get bold
There's a tale about Christmas that you'll all be told
A real mouthy bloke somewhat overfed,
And he spends the whole year workin' out in his shed.
It's the little plane nick
little plane nick
It's the little plane
little plane nick
Just a little Marcou, in the hands of a hick
But it'll walk a shiney Holtey with a blade too thick.
It's shiney steel and brass with a tote at the heel
And when Lataxe gives a swoosh, man, just watch it peel.
It's the little plane nick
little plane nick
It's the little plane nick

Run through the rain, dear!
Ahhhh aah ah
I can't stand the pain here!!
Oooooo ooo oo
Get the surgeon straight away!
He's hauling through the snow at a frightenin' speed,
With a half a dozen needles and a bottle of mead,
He's gotta wear the gloves 'cause the blood really flies
And Lataxe is a-cursin' - he got a nasty surprise.
It's the little plane nick

Merry Christmas all!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family Bob. After you dig your way out the last storm, I hope there is still enough in you to get to the shop and make a few shavings. It looks like the folks in the ski business down the road are off to a good start. Take care.

Merry Christmas to all. May Santa bring you all a pile of new woodshop toys.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, wit and wisdom this past year. Looking forward to even more in 2008.

Joy to the Knotheads
Joy in the shop
The dovetails fit
Was it luck
or this new saw?
Let every tool prepare some room
and I'll get on the net and I'll get on the net
and order and order some more tools
Joy in the shop
the board is flat
Let men their planes employ
While shavings and chips a fly, again
Repeat the pull and push
Repeat the pull and push
Repeat repeat the pull and push
Bob
Merry Christmas, and have a safe and Happy New Year!

Why it's jolly WillGeorge, and eight tiny reindeer.
And his battery powered Snow Blower to blast a clean path from the snow so we do not slide off to the next roof and skip anybody!

If a big Red Nose and Blood shot eyes.. It was me!
Twas the Knots before Christmas And all through the house nothing was sturring except some wood worms in my shop..My stockings all hung in a row.. (I sure hope I washed them first..)Santa came down the smoke stack and fell on my Dust collector and .. It took a few minuits to realize it was a Jolley Old Elf.. SO Quick.. Ok so he landed onm my old wood plane on the shop floor and gave out a yelp! ..Santa said I think my Toy Sack got stuck in the pipe.. I said I knew it would! I made it taper down and I estimated your size and thought the sack would be a bit bigger..NOW I HAVE ALL THE TOOLS and handed Santa a glass of RUM.. Santa said I DO NOT DRINK BUT IF YOU INSIST..
Twas the Knots before Christmas
And all throught the house..
Nothing was sturrin' except this Mouse!
I was going to the celler and fell down the stairs..
I saw Santa at my wine barrel..
I knew why he was so Jolly!
