OK it's not a major thing, but I decided to enter some items in the Mid-South Fair in Memphis and I could't beleive the results. Recieved a 1st place for a truck, a 2nd place for a segmented turning and a 3rd place for a clock. Thanks for letting me gloat and sorry for the photo quality.

Very cool, Keith. From the looks of things, the awards were well-deserved. I like all three pieces, but the segmented vessel is probably my favorite.
(John and Fred, a segmented turning is a bunch of different pieces of wood glued together in a pattern, then turned on a lathe into something round and hopefully cool. In Keith's case, it came out very cool -- pic #2.)

Beautiful work Keith. I'm a big fan of the truck. I started on a train a long time ago and still haven't finished it. Absolutely timeless. Congratulations for your well-deserved awards!

They all look great but, I believe the segmented turning should have placed higher!

Wow, nice stuff!
Can we have more pics of the truck, please, please, please :D
Where did you get the design for the truck?
I'd love to make something like that, my Dad would really love it!!
Cheers!

Congratulations Keith, I saw your pieces yeaterday and my boy has requested that I build a truck like yours for him.
Stop by my shop/mill someday and I'll hook you up with some "scraps" otherwise headed to the woodstove--I'm sure you could make better use of 'em.

Really nice stuff, that truck is awesome - not overdone, not too "toyish", really just right. Congratulations.

Thanks for the nice comments ! I guess I'm not supposed to give out web sites for a commercial venture so if you send me a pm I can tell you where to get the truck plans. I have built probably 30 vehicles from his plans and they are great. I have no ties to him he just provides a quality product.
