just for tooling on etc. i have seen most leatherworkers use granite but many use marble too. i have needed a decent surface to absorb the impact for ages as i dont want the vibrations from hammering/tooling running down the hull of the boat

put a layer of 5mm neoprene under it, it will deaden any vibrations nicely. Its what i have under mine, tried a few things and thats about the only thing that really works.

[Water Gypsy]

Apart from various smelly stuff,slippers,socks and DVDs, my best prezzies were (apart from having Hamish here for Xmas) a Hand made crook knife and note book cover AND a hand made ring from the other half goat!! Mom n dad got me some sold brass Viking boar head brooches for my Viking dress that I have been trying to find for aaaages!! Oh and I also got a professional photo shoot & make over for two from my nan... Which I have decided Hamish WILL be dragged along to har har!! Merry Xmas everyone!

 

[Mesquite]

Never will I be seen in public with them!

That's not very nice John...

I'm sure they all worked hard to make sure you had lovely gifts... surely one pic of you with the sporks is a nice way to reward them

 

[Dave Budd]

Never will I be seen in public with them!

Surely they are the pride of your bushcrafty collection?! I knew you would like the plastic centre to the packing material

So you have 7 pretty in pink sporks eh? I wonder where the rest have got to :evilangel:

 

[British Red]

make over for two from my nan... Which I have decided Hamish WILL be dragged along to har har!!

I think you should get him waxed in the makeover

 

[Tengu]

I got.

A set of smellies (oh)
A mercifully small pack of Quality Street. (had enough of them at college; all the tutors had a tub to pass around.)
A Historical Novel. (cant recall the title) Which I am assured I could do as good a job as. (Me being no fiction reader...or Writer...)
A big green beer bottle -empty. (I am going to decorate it for an arty friends present.)

However I have more to come when I visit relatives on my birthday.

We had a terrific dinner though. (After friend threatened to riot if presented with a `whole` big chicken to her very self; Me and Dad are Mithratics so we had beef. My friend can only eat white meat due to iffy stomach. She eats chickens ike the fox does and is tired of them. I assured domestic peace by getting a goose breast from my secret stash.)

And Dad and friend were delighted with their presents. (I suspect her 1lb box best turkish delight will be gone by the morning. it was `very good` turkish delight, the sort you betray your friends to the Ice queen for.)

Dad made the last of my mincemeat into mince pies. He is wonderful, is my father.

Just like that , ta muchley. Super idea. Just wish I knew who sent it to thank them.

 

[Elen Sentier]

You got enough for an an ultra-cool dinner party ... Hubby's suggestion! he asked why I was shrieking with laughter.

Now John you know the unwritten rules-
pics or it didnt happen and you are making it up

 

[TurboGirl]

A new notebook with oodles of pure virgin cartridge paper for a years worth of plans, homespun slippers and lush bombs. Marvellous I'm going to print out this thread and burn it up the chimney as my Santa letter next year though

And I've saved enough to buy my laavu fabric though, result

 

[Dreadhead]

put a layer of 5mm neoprene under it, it will deaden any vibrations nicely. Its what i have under mine, tried a few things and thats about the only thing that really works.

superb idea! do you mean put the neoprene underneath the marble slab i take it aye? as i imagine tooling leather on top of just neoprene wouldnt be as sturdy

 

[drewdunnrespect]

Unfortunately my wife has just remembered that she also bought me a bottle of vintage port, so I have been forced into sitting here drinking some.

It's a terrible burden, but I'm facing it bravely

well dunn sir like a real gent manning up to your burdens
