I was drilling a bunch of holes in 15-5 stainless and drill chips were flying everywhere. Most really large ones all ending up in the bottom of the VMC. All but this one. A perfectly shipped little tree sitting on top of the vise all by itself.

So I had to save it. Gave it a little tree stand and took it home with me. Told my girlfriend that we don't need to buy a tree now, I made us one. Well, she didn't see the humor in that :)

Maybe I could send you this bronze one and she'd be happy.
Won't stand on it's own though. Have to put it over a 1/16th piece of O-1 or prop it up with more small trees.

Merry Christmas!!!

Well, maybe I could make her some ear rings out of the bronze ones. Gold would be better, but I'm fresh out of gold about now. I wonder if I'd have to peck drill gold? ;)
