For all those who read the description, I’ve chosen this piece of wood for an ornament because once there was a sort of animal living inside of it and this Christmas will be first that we have our animal with us. Mix miniature Poodle with French Bulldog ‘KUKI’.

Dla tych co czytają opisy, wybrałem ten kawałem drewna bo kiedyś żyły w nim jakieś zwierzątka, a te święta będą pierwsze kiedy jest z nami nasze zwierzątką. Mix miniaturki pudla z buldogiem fransuskim ‘KUKI’.

This years Christmas Ornament Challenge. I, for sure, have no expectations of winning anything. This entry is so simple and I am sure way below anyone else entries. I wanted to support this challenge however and also its been a while since I made a video. I miss doing them. I have had some things in life that have occupied my time and has taken away from etc shop and making videos. Merry Christmas and Happy new year everyone! I hope this time of year finds you blessed and happy!

So again this is not the final video! There is so much more to tell than this can say! There are things like the lights turn off and on by turning the top piece! This would have been a great project for the WyomingWoodturner Sam Angelo… but I don’t have any of that kind of gear anyway… so I took a hack saw and cut the top off a pop bottle. Gluing the top of the bottle to the top ball makes a place for wires and the battery. I soldered washers to the two wires and then the battery sits on one… and the insulation on the upper one keeps the top washer from making contact until you turn the lid all the way closed!

But that will be all looked into in the next videos!

Thanks to Carl and Alan for putting on the challenge and for doing all the hard work!

Thanks too for watching

For the challenge this year, I made icicle snowmen ornaments as popularized by Nick Cook.  I saw him demonstrate the project earlier this year and have been waiting for Christmas to try some out.  They are a lot of fun and good practice both rolling beads and using the skew chisel.

My version is slightly different in that I add a middle snowman body section giving a more traditional look.

–Todd Richardson

I wanted to try the Christmas ornament challenge again this year so i did a ornament with 4 trees inlay in it.
