Is this John "I want to buy a lathe because I want to turn legs for my flatwork....I am not artsy" Keeton you are talking about?

What a feather in his cap!

Congratulations my friend!

Will there be math? Ogees on graph paper?Doug, have you been looking at my class notes???:D

Thanks for all the congrats, and, yes Scott, I am going to enjoy retirement! Just a few short months to go. Ken, I laugh every time you comment on the table legs! Had I only known...... oh, what a fun ride it has been.

I took a class at Campbell last year. I think I recall ten lathes for the students I wonder if we can fill the class from the Creek? Wouldn't that be a barrel of fun

Congrats, John - what a great addition to their teaching team! I was just salivating over the JCC course offerings last weekend. I already know two class acts who teach there, now it will be three!

WOW.
I have been looking at classes there for a few years now and (until now) havent seen one that jumps out at me as something I could take a week off work for. I will seriously consider this class. Its real convenient for me since my folks live about 15 minutes from there!!!!

ut-oh ---- I just remembered that week will be my 10th anniversary with the LOML.

So, how do I break it to her that I'd want to spend 5 days turning hollow forms / ogee bowls :confused:

Would it help if I bought her some flowers and sent a card?!?!:rolleyes: I do understand. For many years in KY, archery season for deer opened on October 1 - our wedding anniversary. Fortunately, we had "pre-marital" understandings about that situation. Now, opening day is much earlier in September.

You realize, of course, that your wife can go, too? Ms. Keeton will be taking a cooking course that week. Great place for a couples getaway.
