Hello and Christmas Gloat

[Dave Halter]

Just wanted to say hello to everybody. Uncle Sam has been keeping me busy so I haven't been participating for a while. I hope to get my shop cleaned up and put the lathe back to use as it hasn't been turned on in months. I gave my wife a Christmas list and she bought me everything that was on it. NO complaints here. I received a new Talon chuck with multiple jaws, a couple of books, a chunk of marble wood, a Sorby spiraling tool, Beall collet chuck, and 3 Thompson tools (5/8 V bowl gouge, 3/8 detail, and a 3/8 round bar stock). I plan to make a round skew out of the bar stock. :D

I included a pic - so it DID happen.

Pretty sweet gloat... That marblewood finishes beautifully, so I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product
