Hi I would like to make something out of wood for someone, but I don't know if I should sign up for this? I can not afford to buy gifts for people right now if they want something thats not a hand made wooden knickknack.

corgski posted:Handmade is more than fine, I don't think anyone here would complain and I think most if not all of the participants would prefer it! Ok cool I signed up! Whoever gets me feel free to make whatever you want. I like practical things and a hand made tool would be the coolest thing ever, but no pressure.

Oh sorry I thought it was supposed to be a secret! I put my name on the instruction manual for the game. Glad you like it! If you are curious I posted about how I made it.

tuo posted:everything prepared, and then UPS tells you you need a clearance from the local health department (which is basically impossible to get for non-business stuff, and especially not during corona) to send food to where my package should have gone... I just didnt say there was any food in my box. lol owned customs

I can't speak for anyone else, but whoever has me don't feel rushed to get it out the door by the deadline. I'm not going anywhere and I don't care one bit if its late

So I think I got my secret santa? But I'm not sure because it is very bizarre? I received a package today addressed to "Ruby Tex" so it obviously comes from the internet. Inside there was this note: Other than that there was some packaging and two plastic knobs coloured yellow and green. One of the knobs apparently causes cancer and reproductive harm:   These are apparently replacement heads for a hammer I don't own? I guess I could use them as a hammer if I made my own handle.

Bi-la kaifa posted:Funnily enough I sent that a week after I sent your actual gift. The note was more appropriate than I thought it would be. Thanks, Canada Post. It's currently in Winnipeg waiting to move on. It'll make sense and be cool I promise. Nice, I assumed it was some sort of meme multi stage gift. I can't wait, Merry Christmas!

OMG OMG OMG I Just got my gift and it is THE COOLEST THING EVER. I received a box with much packaging, several layers of cards and letters, and THIS BEAUTIFUL HAMMER   According to the letter Bi-la kaifa and partner found this brass hammer among the tool collection of an old millwrite. It is made of solid brass and weighs a ton. It is engraved with the date March 17, 1981. The handle was apparently messed up so Bi-la kaifa made a new one. It is lovely and quite comfortable! That makes this hammer double DIY. The ends are kind of chewed up, but Bi-la kaifa kindly provided some new hammer heads to replace the old ones (see my previous highly confused post). I won't be replacing the heads, at least not for now. I love the original quality! I'm actually a trained archivist, so having the provenience of this hammer, and the exact date it was milled engraved on the outside is giving me some nerd pleasure you can not understand. I have a great many hammers, but not one like this, so it is actually quite useful to me! Also included were 4 lovely home made holiday cards from Bi-la kaifas wife. It would have been nice if Canada post got these to me before Xmas, but I still have a few gifts to give so they will come in handy Thank you so much this gift is fantastic!

Bi-la kaifa posted:Hurray! Rutibex, I'm glad you like it. I was a bit worried about gifting something I technically didn't make but it's such a cool thing if you like old stuff, which I'm thankful you do. I ordered myself some of those heads too so I think I'll make one of my own if I ever get my hands on a lathe. Merry Christmas! Oh I absolutely love it you made the right call. I mean everything has labor contributed in it from tons of anonymous sources, I just happen to be lucky enough to know two of them for this hammer The new hammer heads will not go to waste, I'm going to make a wooden mallet to screw them into. That way I can have two hammers
