Well, that is his own fault: he should deliver the present in time, shouldn’t he?

That’s right Erwin! In the States we have a saying, “you snooze, you loose”.
I guess that Santa has supply chain issues too. OR. maybe it was that big blizzard that buried a big part of the States? anyway, I have the kit now. Man, there are hundreds of parts with this kit!

Pretty sure the Buffalo crew was sitting at home last week. Even Rudolf’s nose wasn’t cutting it.

Nothing that screamed “Buy Me” at the HobbyTown Hobby Shop near me, so this will do. But I’ll be adding this one to the Bugatti Chiron, Dodge Charger and Shelby GT350 in my Lego collection.

I got a draw-knife:

and the really funny part was that the little safety leaflet included a band-aid.
:grin: :rofl: :rofl:
A further bonus is that it is Made in Ukraine :+1:

Edit: Sssshhhh …Don’t tell my family but there is a largish box from my plastic pusher waiting for me at the post office …

Nah, not sharp enough …
I will sharpen it though, I prefer my edged tools to be nearly razor sharp.
Hurts less when accidents happen and leaves less thrashed wounds …

I realised I needed one of these when I was carving axe- and sledge hammer (17 pounders) handles

Cricut is an awesome tool. Congratulations. It has been useful for 2D printing my own stencils, some scratch building parts, as well as making my own Christmas and birthday cards, without the mess and toxicity of resin 3D printing. You’ll find it useful.
