[Jim Becker]

I'm happy to report that our own Alan Turner's beautiful Newport-style kneehole desk is indeed in the November/December issue of Fine Woodworking...on page 89. The photo is great, too!!

[Carl Eyman]

It was the first thing I lookded for when the mag. arrived.

[Martin Shupe]

Congratulations, Alan!

The woodworking equivalent of being on the cover of the "Rolling Stone".:D

Now pay attention, FWW, it is Jason Tuinstra's turn to be recognized. Let's see the tin cupboard in your pages!

[Dan Forman]

Way to go Alan !!!!! My issue has yet to arrive, so I'm eagerly awaiting. So...who is going to be fortunate enough to get Alan to autograph their issue? ;)

[Jim Becker]

It is better in person! You can slide the smooth as silk drawers besides just look at it.

Having fondled it myself...I agree totally!

[Richard Wolf]

Great Job Alan!!

Richard

[John Hart]

[Ken Fitzgerald]

[Roy Wall]

I'll have to wait till Monday to see it in the FWW.......my subscription is always a day behind.......

[Alan Turner]

I was working at the new shop yesterday, and my wonderful bride was there also, painting the windows and cleaning them. Wow. Talk about a great bride. Anyway, she finished and left, and went home, and I stayed to work a bit, etc. So, the mail came, FWW was there, and she called me to let me know the desk was there.

My thanks to all here at SMC as I had not planned to submit the desk for publication. This is my first time in a magazine, and I have to say that it is a nice sort of external validation.

Well, back to the salt mines. I have 10 student workbenches to build, so best get at it. No rest for the weary.

[Tom Hamilton]

Congrats Alan: National recognition, who knows, probably international recognition of your fine skill and craftsmanship.

I hope the phone lines are open for the commissions coming your way!

Enjoy the moment, TJH :D

[Hank Knight]

Alan, my FWW was waiting for me when I got home last night. The coverage of your desk is splendid! All congratulations and more are well deserved. Please add mine. Fantastic!

[Bruce Page]

It was the first thing I lookded for when the mag. arrived.
Ditto here too. We had a family get together yesterday and I was showing everybody the great pic!

Congratulations Alan!

[Steve Wargo]

Congrats Alan, I should get my copy tomorrow and look forward to seeing the desk in all it's glory. A job well done.

[Rob Millard]

Alan,
Let me add my congratulation to the growing list.

[Karl Laustrup]

Alan,

Congratulations!


I don't think the photo does the piece justice. I know the pix you posted here were great and I can only imagine what it looks like in person.

Now, did you want my copy sent to you for signature or were you going to do a "ROAD TRIP" to sign all the Creekers copies? ;) :eek: :D

Karl

[Alan Turner]

Thanks again, guys. Better (more) pix are posted at SAPFM.org, in the gallery. But I actually think more are posted here than anywhere.

[Jerry Palmer]

Add my congrats also. My issue finally got here yesterday. Darn Pony Express.
