Christmas stocking stuffers

[McRuff]

I made these turners cubes a week or so before Christmas for stocking stuffers (8 of them) . It was a fun project and the wife and kids got a kick out of them. My wife put hers on her desk at work, everybody picked it up and asked how it was made, my wife just smiled and said her husband was good.
Got to love her for that!

Those are great. I really need to figure out the proper procedure to make those. Have a good set of directions to follow, kind of an "Idiots Guide to Making Neat Stuff"? :biggrin:

Still scratching my head on those.....but thats the newbie in me I suppose!!

Would you like to share how you did it? :thinking:

Hello all,

Yep - I can see getting some mileage out of these for stocking stuffers, but first I need some directions as to how they are made. One of the posts suggested the instructions could be found in Guy Lautards 'Machinist's Bedtime Reader' No. 2, but no joy, nor in No. 1.

Can anyone give me direction where to find the plans/construction?

I'll post the plans and some instructions this weekend.

Hello McRuff,

Thanks, I'll be looking forward to these. It's not as though I need any more projects, but that's something I think would make a pretty nifty gift for lots of folks.
