Woodworkers night before Christmas

 

 

Twasthe night before Christmas,
when all through the
 
<https://www.woodcraft.com/products/woodcraft-magazine-downloadable-issue-43
-october-november-2011> woodshop
Not a creature was
stirring, not even the
<https://www.woodcraft.com/products/pinnacle-brass-bench-dogs-3-4in-dia>
bench dog
 <https://www.woodcraft.com/products/pinnacle-brass-bench-dogs-3-4in-dia>
stops.

The  <https://www.woodcraft.com/categories/hand-tools> tools
<https://www.woodcraft.com/categories/hand-tools>  were all put away in
their
<https://www.woodcraft.com/products/sjobergs-storage-cabinet-for-duo-bench>
cabinets with 
care,

In hopes that the artisan soon would be
there.

The woodworker was nestled all snug in his 
bed,

While visions of
<https://www.woodcraft.com/products/woodriver-coffee-scoop-turning-kit-chrom
e> new projects danced in his
head.

And mamma in her kitchen, and new
<https://www.woodcraft.com/categories/power-tools> tools in my
lap,
Had just settled in with our  <https://www.woodcraft.com/pages/gift-cards>
gifts <https://www.woodcraft.com/pages/gift-cards>  from
 <https://www.woodcraft.com/> Woodcraft.

When out in the shop, the tools were a

clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the
matter.

 Away to the
<http://blog.woodcraft.com/2011/10/extreme-garage-shop-makeover-part-2/>
Woodshop
I flew with a
gust,
I opened the door and raised some
sawdust.

 When, what to my wondering eyes would appear,

But my favorite woodworkers using
<https://www.woodcraft.com/categories/woodworking-plans> plans
to make new projects to
share.

With  <http://wbgu.org/americanwoodshop/> Scott Phillips of The American
Woodshop using
the new Kreg ToolBoxx Screw
Kit,
his cabinets would be done,
lickety-split.

 <http://www.robcosman.com/> Rob Cosman was teaching with a NEW
<https://www.woodcraft.com/products/woodriver-92-medium-shoulder-plane>

 <https://www.woodcraft.com/products/woodriver-92-medium-shoulder-plane>
Plane,
sharpening and honing with the
<https://www.woodcraft.com/products/rob-cosman-angle-trainer> Angle Saw
 <https://www.woodcraft.com/products/rob-cosman-angle-trainer> Trainer.
Then picking up his Dovetail Bone Resin
Saw
and teaching  <http://robcosman.memberlodge.com/> online works
<http://robcosman.memberlodge.com/> hops with students in

awe!

There’s Tommy Mac of Rough Cut, building furniture and

more,

Briwax,
Trashed was my old wood from splinters and
cracks!

To the back of the shop, to the top of the
wall,
New  <https://www.woodcraft.com/categories/wood-finishing> wood was stacked,
plenty for
all!

 

As dry wood cut by the
<https://www.woodcraft.com/products/sawstop-1-75-hp-professional-cabinet-saw

flies,
When they meet
with an Oneida Dust Deputy II,
where the
<https://www.woodcraft.com/products/festool-ct-mini-dust-extractor> Festool
Dust Filter
lies.

 

So back to the house the family they

flew,
With a handful of finished projects and Dad the woodworker
too!

 

I drew in my head, and was turning

around,
he got into his truck, and headed for
town.

For it was our Woodcraft Santa,
with an empty red sack.
As he left one last gift,
the  <https://www.woodcraft.com/products/portamate-6-shelf-wood-rack>
Portamate 6-Shelf Wood
<https://www.woodcraft.com/products/portamate-6-shelf-wood-rack> Rack!

 

He gave a salute and with a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
Gave the “Tool Man” simian grunt, arr, arr, arr!

“Happy Woodworking Christmas to all, and to all… a Good-Night!
