What have you guys given to yourself or the grease monkeys in your life for their birthdays or christmas, etc....
Today was my dad's birthday.
I gave him this

It's a front hubcap off his old 69 mustang... made into a clock. He loved it!
Here's the hubcap on his actual car in 1991

That looks cool.
Didn't you also make a bench out of the tailgate?

I usually don't wait until my birthday or someone else's birthday, because sometimes the deals or freebies come up before those dates.
Recently I bought myself an old South Bend lathe. I'm not even sure how old it is.....but it's still a decent unit.
Over the last few years I've given my dad several shop/tool items. Some stuff I get free from work, stuff that would otherwise be thrown out, like pipeline skids or welding rods. Stuff like that is always handy around the farm.
