On vacation and was able to schedule a day lesson with Bill Grumbine. Being a novice turner that's a gloat for me!!! Great guy, great and patient teacher. His wife is great and even made lunch. Found out Bill and I have some common interests too - religion, turning and cigars!!!

first teacher I ever had packing a gun on his hip so if you don't listen then watch out :):). Actually guns are his real hobby.

Now if I wil just be able to remember a fraction of what was taught by the time I get back home next week!

That is a gloat for sure. I met Bill and he is just a great and funny guy.

I really enjoyed Bill's DVD when starting and can only imagine what it would be like to have him doing it live. Quite a gloat. I did not see him packing in the DVD.

Congrats, Ricc - that had to be a cool experience! I recall several folks posting about spending a day with Bill, and I can only imagine it would vastly improve one's approach to turning.

That's quite a gloat Ricc! Congrats - I am sure you learned a lot and had a lot of fun in the process! I have yet to meet Bill but I look forward to it one day!

Glad you had a good time. Would like to take a class with him someday, seems like an easy going guy.

I did a hands-on session with Bill a few years ago. He's a great guy and an even better teacher. Definitely worth it!

Sounds like you had a good time, too!

Glad you had a good time! Did you get in any shooting? Bill is a great guy and a very good teacher. He is not a bad shot also!

Didnt get into any shooting as I am legally blind and Bill didn't want anymore holes in the outhouse!

Congrats, Ricc! I plan on meeting up with him next month. I've heard only great things about him. Love his DVD, too!
