Congratulations David DeCristoforo!

[Brian Effinger]

I just sat down to have some lunch and check email, when I saw message about the next issue of Woodturning Design. The cover photo in the email has three turnings on it that I thought look really familiar. What do you think?

Dan

[Robert McGowen]

Quite impressive!

[Sid Matheny]

[Brian McInturff]

Ugh... Those look like the scraps I toss out. Now everyone will be copying them.


Now that I got those "puns" out of the way.............CONGRATULATIONS!!! You really do, do, great work. Maybe one of these days when you are doing a class on the east coast I can learn to turn one of those then delicate pedestals!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats David.

[David DeCristoforo]

Thanx to all for the comments.

"Now he is getting famous…"

I think I am far more "famous" for sticking my foot in my mouth….


I was aware that my stuff was going to be in a "Designer's Showcase" feature. But I was not aware that they were also going to be on the cover. The other day, Joe sent me a preview and I damn near fell off my chair! Then he asked me not to spread it around because he had not made it public yet.

And Ken, I would never attempt to turn table legs. That would mean having to make four identical items and that is way beyond my comprehension!

[James Roberts]

Congratulations David, saw this in my e-mail as well this evening. Very nice cover and very well deserved.

[BILL DONAHUE]

Congrats! I got the email today and immediately thought that it was one of the more attractive covers the magazine has had. Great job!

[Bill Bolen]

Just wanted to add my congrat's to this long list. Quite the honor and well deserved.

"...very nice feather in your hat..."

I have no hat. Maybe I could just stick the feather... Oh... never mind...

But thanx again to all for the kind words....

[Mike Cruz]

Congrats, David. Just goes to show that your creativeness and hard work paid off...

[Brian Kent]

I know it is off-topic, but what kind of lathe is that in your avatar? And is that a home-made stand?

[David DeCristoforo]

"...what kind of lathe is that in your avatar?"

It's a late 50's or early 60's Rockwell/Delta 46-450. After being taken to task by John Keeton over it's condition:

David - thanks for the reply. I asked the question and then missed the answer. I love the paint job. Even though it turns out to be a metal cabinet, it is inspiring some ideas for a wood cabinet in the future.
