December 25, 2005 - Santa's Gifts

Santa Claus came through this year big-time with a Band Saw!  Yes, almost two years into the project, I finally got a band saw.  Oh well, better late than never. 
Santa also brought me this book about Don Sheldon, the famous Alaskan Bush Pilot. 
My parents gave me a new Dremel tool.  In fact, they gave me my old Dremel tool years ago.  I wore it out!  I used the new Dremel to trim end ends of the inner forward bottom skin stiffeners.  Sweet!  The new tool worked much better than the old; maybe because the cutting wheel is spinning faster. 
My sister gave me this book about the Battle of Midway.  (I finished it by the 30th, it was that good.)  I thought I knew as much about the Battle of Midway as anybody short of a historian and was subsequently stunned by the number of revelations in this well-written, lavishly illustrated, certain classic.  Highly recommended.
