Greetings

[Ted Owen]

Keith, Ken, Aaron--

Just wanted to say how nice it was to meet you folks at 5-Barns. Quite an enjoyable time. Ken, I ordered some pen-making supplies and parts from Penn State last night. Look forward to getting started.

I stopped at that car show on the way home--actually out of the way home--and spent an hour or so wandering amongst some beautiful automotive restorations. Mostly 50's, 60's, 70's. Brought back some fun memories. Wish they'd had more pre-1930, but there probably just are not as many examples of those.

My best to all,
Ted

I enjoyed meeting you and chatting with you - good luck.

Welcome, Ted!!

With all you knowledgeable turners there fishin' for Neanders, I wonder how many of us were really hooked--and whether Poolewood sales might enjoy a bit of a spike during the coming months.

Can you picture doing pens on a Poolewood?

Best, Ted

Ted,

It was great to meet you and welcome to the Creek! Make sure you stop in chat sometime. You make sure you let us see some pics of those pens :)

It was very nice meeting you and I hope the turners haven't spoiled you since you are one of the cordless types :) I had a great time and truly enjoyed meeting everyone at 5 Barns.

[Rob Sandow]

It was great to meet you Ted. I didn't realize you were from Pittsburgh. I'm a lifelong Steelers fan, but out here we have to get a satellite dish or go to a bar to watch the games on Sunday.

It was really great meeting you & everyone else at 5 Barns - nice group of people for sure.

Glad you had fun at Macungie - I think they are always mostly 50's, 60's & 70's. The older cars go to Hershey usually - or at least they used to.

So did you order your Poolewood yet?

[QUOTE=Ted Owen]Keith, Ken, Aaron--


Most of the older cars were there on Saturday, Sunday is usually the day for different car club displays

Hi, Terry--

I get a kick out of the little Avatars here on SMC. Nice to see what you look like.

I'll let you know how I'm making out with the cyclone, now that I have all the parts (impeller mixup, was easily corrected).

Hope all is going well there.

Best, Ted

[Terry Hatfield]

Ted,

Let me know how it goes. Glad you got a kick out of the avatar. There is a really big pic of me on my site. :D

Don't be a stranger around these waters.

Ted,
Welcome.
Where in Pittsburgh. We lived off of Rt 52 near Century III mall for a while and bought out in Delmont (New Salem) just the other side of Murrysville. Left there in 1989 and would love to get back. Saturday mornings at the strip district was our normal agenda.
Sorry to bother you.
Later,
Ernie

Hi, Ernie--

Grew up in Moon, now living in Gibsonia on a golf course. Heaven.

Lived lots of places in between, like Portland, OR, for three years. So I know what the dry side means--Spokane or thereabouts. Fascinating how the mountains divide WA nearly in half--only tropical rainforest in continental U.S. on left, desert on right.

Dan Rabinowitz, who posts here, is from Murrysville.

Good to hear from you.

Best, Ted

You didn't tell me you lived on a Golf course - You must really have wasted a lot of ketchup to get there :D

Oh, you remembered, Tom. Good memory. Yes, indeed, the Heinz motto for employees in eating restaurants is "Use it or waste it."

Ted,
Actually in the Tri Cities, south of Spokane. Golf Course, Heaven? 27 Holes and 300-600 residences going in over the hill, about 1 mile away. Close enough. Are you getting a Poolewood for pens?

A photo of Bill Grumbine standing over his Poolewood turning pens. I might pay money to see that. :p

Best, Ted

[Keith Outten]

Ted,

A photo of Bill Grumbine turning pens on his poolwood lathe is would be hilarious. I also think it would be funny to see Bill using a Jet Mini lathe turning pens. For a guy Bill's size the Jet Mini would be classified as a hand tool :)
