Major personal gloat!

[Harvey Ghesser]

Hi all!

Haven't posted in a while for a number of reasons but wanted to share a gloat! I'm still in the beginning stages of woodturning and have decided to quit going to the School of Hard Knocks and take some lessons. So being that I'm only about a three hour drive from Bill Grumbine!!:D, I decided to take a two day, private lesson from this master woodturner!

He did not disappoint! It's amazing how with a bit of real instruction, my turning skills improved...wow! He's truly an amazing man and just like his videos...he had my attention!

I will schedule other lessons with Bill in the future!

Attached is a picture....I know, I know...no picture, it didn't happen!

Best Regard to all!

Wow - that's quite the gloat! Great photo! You even took lessons on a Robust! Looking forward to seeing some of your work real soon!

Sure looks like you had some major fun!

[Gerold Griffin]

Now that's a gloat, plus it looks like you got some time on a Robust lathe as a extra plus! Hope to see some new projects soon showing off what you learned and maybe a tip or two.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats. That is a gloat and got to use a Robust to boot.

[Jim Underwood]

Wow. I'm totally envious. Congratulations on the time spent with Bill.

That should ensure you never backlside out of the vortex!;)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Congratulations!

[John Keeton]

Oh, to study at the feet of the master.....

Congrats! Tremendous score!

[Dave Halter]

That's great. I've got his DVD's and would love to take some lessons from him.

[Harvey Ghesser]

Steve, Gerold, Bernie, Jim, Ken and John...you guys rock! Thanks so much for taking the time!

P.S. The Robust was nice...but so is my Stubby!:D

[Harvey Ghesser]

Dave,

You can go to his website and contact him there. He's well worth it and will teach you what you want. Turning is just like learning the piano...I needed some correction and guidance. He and his family are most personable! I had a wonderful time.

I am so jealous. All the turners that I would like to take lessons from are a long ways from me.


A Big Congrats!

[Baxter Smith]

What a treat! Bill is coming to our club in the fall and I'm really looking forward to it.

Harv,
Paint me totally impressed. Congrats on the lesson form Bill, and a private one at that...... WOW!!

[Steve Mawson]

Well you just make me green (envy thing you know):):D. I did get to see Bill demo last summer. Very enjoyable day, must be really special to go to Bill's place.

[David E Keller]

Very nice gloat.

[Jack Gaskins]

YOU SUCK :D ! Congratulations on the lessons though. I AM SERIOUSLY JEALOUS :D!

[Harvey Ghesser]

Thanks to all who took the time to post a congratulatory message! You'all are what makes the Creek what it is! The encouragement, help, and comraderie really makes the lives of newbies like myself so much easier in this spinny world of ours.

Thank you all, again!:)
