Just Me?


Am I the only one who does their
Christmas wrapping on the drawing board,
using a pocket knife instead of scissors?

You are not, Sir.
I just wrapped a few packages and since I could not find a pair of scissors worth a damn, I used the blade of my Leatherman tool.
One could definitely say that the wrap job on these packages, as sometimes is the case with my framing, are an example of function over form.

Re: Just Me?


Wrapping paper this year is a sheet of plywood. Leaning against the new processing/packing station I built for the missus. She knows what she's getting-just not what it looks like.

I think next year I'm going to get an early start and make cabinet-grade plywood boxes for the gifts, instead of the paper wrapping.
Watch everyone pass around the cat's paw and the cordless Sawzall on Christmas morning to get everything "unwrapped".

Now if you gents will excuse me, I intend to pull the cork out of a bottle of Jameson's and start the festivities.
Best holiday wishes to you all!
