Thread: Possible to keep gift project a secret?

    I think my wife has gone out to my shop twice in the past year and that was at my insistance to see a project in process. I could be building a nuke out there and she wouldn't know.

    Doug,

    Yes that is the best part! Getting their ideas, without them knowning. Don't worry if they seem like they don't like the project, they are just Jealous, it's not for them! LOML wasn't very thrilled about the blanket chest, until she realized it was really for her!

    Hey Spring,
    Are you sure that she isn't out there getting you off of all those porn sites.

    On the POSITIVE side, I like the new avatar. I've never seen you look so good. Who was your undertaker?
