What are you building for Christmas?

[CaZMaN]

not much help for your kids/ grandkids, but I'll be making my wife a small yard windmill for Christmas. I was going to make her some armadillos to go with Captain Charlie the Chicken, but just don't have the time. Might do those for her birthday instead.

These are AWESOME! I might PM you for more details on how you made these / what materials (or if you already posted, please share any links).

here's Captain Charlie

Full Metal Chicken, bok bok

wife went nuts over some metal yard chickens we saw on a road trip, so I figured I'd make her one for Christmas. Can't be that hard, right? The frame (skeleton?) was made from rebar and some scrap flat bar. The rebar ring was hand bent, the flat bar ring went through my roller. Breast plate...
