How proud you must feel. Your baby all grown up! :-)

I have one who dotes on cars, too. We'll have to swap notes.....

18 May, 2009

 

i could fill a book.....
cars, british motor bikes, classic push bikes and the Humber Keel oh and he turns wood too!
wouldnt change him for the world though.

18 May, 2009

 

haha - so does mine! (wood, I mean...)

He is building a car at the moment and renovating an E-type as well. I agree - I'm not changing him, either!

mine rebuilt a triumph spitfire 11yrs ago just when i was home nursing a new baby and recovering from [unrelated] abdominal surgery. not the best at housework then!

he turned me a fantastic dibber and a pricker out 2 years ago and they are doing really well.

Mine built my obelisks - and turned finials for the top! As the wooden ones were a HUGE price on the net, I was (and am) really pleased!

I bought him the router for his birthday a couple of years ago.

Funny co-incidences, aren't they?

19 May, 2009

 

i've bought similar presents too.

19 May, 2009

 

Guess what he had for our wedding anniversary pressy??

19 May, 2009

 

a turning gouge? band saw? chisel set? the list is end less. i have bought a ball joint splitter before too.

19 May, 2009

 

A mig-welder! Well... I did get my sculpture, and his pressy was a joint birthday/wedding anniversary one.

19 May, 2009

 

that was his 40th pressie. sounds as if they would get on like a house on fire too.

19 May, 2009

 

I bet they would - loads in common! Pity you live so far away! We could talk plants and they could chat about sprockets and gears... lol.
