jap…come on in…that would make things easy for the americans! Although I'm still willing to pay shipping for poor GMath…

Al, I'll work out the random array thing to see who gets to ship a mallet to whom…after the nov22 deadline for signing up I'll post the results…Yes, get busy!

 

Hmm looks like my xmas card made it WV early …. way to blow it for me Al. Thanks. Now no one else will be surprised. Stef's pissed.

 

"after the nov22 deadline for signing up I'll post the results"

-I humbly suggest the mail-to goes out via PM, adding to the suspense. I, for example, want to be totally surprised when I open bhog's member-shaped mallet, or Lysdexic's mushroom beater, or Al's chisel pacifier…

 

I like Smitty's idea. (but then I usually do)

 

I will second what Smitty says.

 

+1 to what Smitty said.

 

That sounds like a great idea, Smiity!

 

Heck, for that matter you don't even have to give us the name if you don't want to, we could just generic it, and have it be a surprise to those of us who are sending it as well lol. Only the person who receives it will know who it's from, until we post here… ;-)

To:
Mallet Exchange Recipient

Not going to lie, this mallet swap excites me…

 

Chris. That is a damn good idea sir.

 

Now, wait a second Chris…

You really want me to keep all the data a surprise? It's possible.

Everyone already needs to start sending their snail mail to me via PM…

You guys want me to tell you, "just mail to Mallet Recipiant #n, with an address attached"? no names at all? But, that's no surprise for me…wah.

...maybe I'll just get 'em ALL mailed to me! now, that'd be a surprise for you guys!

 

The surprise, then, would be us not getting any mallets That, and we'd have double the shipping costs that way too lol

I'd be game with saying "send to this address" with no name attached. Fine by me

 

It won't be a surprise to some of us, depending on where it's going. We know where folks live, for example…

PM sent.

 

I guess that's also true… I'll defer to Terry to figure that out

 

I vote for knowing who I'm sending it to, but let it be a surprise for the recipient.

 

I think we all know where most of us live, and if your profile is filled out ( and it should be) we'd know anyhow. Plus, if the name isn't on the box, won't the wife think its for her? I don't want my wife wheeling no hickory thump stick painted by Smitty. Ouch.

 

Don, I'd love nothin' better…

 

I agree with Don, my wife dont need no more than the left cross shes been blessed with. 7 years together and i still never see it comin.

 

Ouch…
And we probably want a real name on the box just to help USPS…it's the holidaze ya know?

 

Your right Terry. If the usps guy gets your address mixed up with your neighbors it might take them 2 days just to turn around and get back to your house .

 

My usps guy gets it mixed up WITH the name on it. Without, his head might explode. But that might help.

 

LOL Smitt.

I am easy either way.

 

I am easy either way.
That may work for chrisstef, but the rest of us just want our mallet!

 

^ Yeah, Al has indeed spoken of you highly in that regard, Bhog…

 

All right.
You've all inspired me.
I've had this 8 foot long piece of pallet stringer being hoarded for at least a dozen years.
This will be a Christmas present for a family member.
Rock Maple near as I can tell.
Just a coat of BLO on it so far.

 

Wow, that's some sweet grain on that maple.
