The footage I take while pottering in the workshop usually has to wait a while before I get round to editing but this must have been an especially long wait - not only can you see that I was making these Christmas presents in weather warm enough to work in shirtsleeves, but that my wee workshop pal Pie appears alive and well during the course of events.

I apologise in advance that some of the things I say are not completely audible, but that's mostly because I'm not really talking to camera, rather I'm muttering to myself and believe me, there's not much then worth hearing. But when I do speak to camera I make more of an effort to be intelligible.

Thanks so much for watching. I look forward to reading your comments, suggestions, constructive criticism, safety tips and so on. And if you've made any moving toys, automata or whirligigs do let me know in the comments. Thanks again, God's blessings on you and let's get together again soon. Well, as soon as I can manage anyway.
