I made my wife a Christmas gift 

Thanks! she did like it although it wasn't much of a surprise as she saw me making it but that's unavoidable

Hey buddy! I hope your new years off to a good start! I am trying to get more free time to make fun videos (it's hard not to work a lot when there's lots of work to go around) so hopefully you'll see more videos from me soon

she did indeed! now I gotta start thinking of next year's gift to make her

@@HuskyMachining A bit late now but for the future perhaps. Get her a huge bunch of flowers and tell her she looks great. Making your woman stuff from your CNC is very similar to her knitting you a sweater or similar.

@CATANOVA she likes self made things. We are simple folk, she likes to read and I like make stuff and she always wants something for the memory box

@@HuskyMachining But she is still a woman and therefore very easy to please as previously described LOL. Also don't forget that they all tell fibs, not in a bad way, rather they just tell you what they think you want to hear and therefore a seemingly good gift or compliment may not be so. As a golden rule, they all, without exception, absolutely love it when you tell them they look attractive. The odd bunch of flowers is just a way of demonstrating that you are willing to spend on them and believe it or not is more considerate than actually making them something in the workshop. Not much to lose by trying it LOL.
