Cheers Chris

Ok my secret Santa has really really REALLY blown me away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW Thats all i can say! Im sure you can work out by the distinct styling who the maker is but i shal stick to the rules and keep a zip on it!

I really wasn't expecting to be opening a parcel this morning to such fine craftsman ship in... im just sorry i cant do them both the justice they deserve with a better picture! Ill have another crack after new year!

Thank you again Santa! you truly have put a massive smile on someone's face!!!!! :You_Rock_

Well from mine I recieved a catapult!

Unfortunatley I haven't had much time to use it - the only times I've managed to get out n about was with the dogs at some silly time either early or late and up here its dark pretty much most of the time so can't see what I'm doing.

Maybe in the summer I'll have a chance to shoot it out to sea - try and hit a tin can etc. but I'm gonna have to wait for those light mornings...

I'll try to get a pic up but knowing me that will take ages.

My kids have had great fun with the spare elasticy bit, kept them quiet [when they weren't stretching it out between two of them and playing chicken to see who would let it go first]

Is anyone still waiting for their gifts to arrive?

I am but the person doing mine has already said that it will be late so no issue there

If you haven't received yours please let me know and i'll chase the relevant people

Thanks

i dont know if i recieved mine from this or the one run by benn?
i got a mini brew pouch,pocket torch and bird id book but i dunno if it was from this one or not

Sorry for the slow reply from me I had hoped to supply a picture or two but having USB problems!

I hade a very generous parcel containing two possibile pouches, one full of tinder; a years supply of belly button fluff (!!), some charcloth and a cramp ball. A further rumage revealed a BCUK logo'd (handmade) slate keyring, a small alcohol stove (which I could do with some info on whoever you are!) two chunks of fatwood and a paracord bracelet.


Many many thanks!

Ok that was me Glad you liked it. The stove is just a coke can meths burner. Fill it up and it burns just like a trangia meths burner (without a lid to store fuel though). The holes in the side create the little super jets that you get on meths burners. If that makes no sense heres a video of one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2p9bnOGmSk&feature=related

Thanks buddy, I love little ingenious bits like this!

 

[georann]

They're really quite simple to make as well!

 

[Iona]

In the same boat as a couple of others having been on both secret santa threads and recieved one gift... Assuming at the mo that it's from the other thread as there were a couple of 'bought' things among some made stuff, am having puter trouble at the mo, but will ask OPs from both thrads to chase and then I'll know where to post photos and thanks!!! Hmmm... No sign of the ones I sent either so far. Definitely a chasing day!

 

[DaveBromley]

iona i sent your gift and there deffinately is nothing bought in there, if it doesnt arrive by next week i'll put something else together.

We had a couple of gifts go awry last year but everything sorted itself out in the end

Dave

 

[Iona]

I'll chase the PO too then in case they haven't carded us (not unusual!)Thanks Dave.

 

[DaveBromley]

Did you ever receive that present Iona? not had mine yet but member let me know it would be late. Anyone else not get there gifts?

Dave

 

[Man of Tanith]
