New Turner's Official Abbyseration.....

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Sunday afternoon, I took my wife back to the Bomb and the "Diving Board" for her second private lesson. I brought the camera and in the first photo you'll see proof and if you look close you can see shavings coming off the pen blank....Sharon turned and finished 2 pens Sunday but MRS. FITZGERALD refused to have her photo taken with the pens then as she didn't "have her hair done". So.....Monday morning before leaving for work at the grade school, I got the 2nd and 3rd photos.

It's official......She did a good job!

That is absolutely awesome Ken. Tell her the pens are beautiful. What a great way to get her started. Mine won't turn yet but does come out when I am working to work on the scroll saw and little bandsaw.

Ken,
Lefty? That great. After I get heat in the shop and get caught I think I'll have to do a 'private' lesson.

Can Left handers turn bowls?

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Frank......I'll find out if Lefties can do bowls someday. She's a lefty from Fairbury, Illinois ....that's southeast of Pontiac....not too far from you.

[John Hart]

Pretty cool Mrs Fitzgerald!!!!! Nice pens!

I like your hair.;) :)

[Mark Pruitt]

Way to go, Sharon and Ken! So, what's the second lathe gonna be?:D

[George Conklin]

The pens turned out quite nice, Sharon. It looks like you're a natural at this.

I think you should consider a second lathe to negate the possibility of marital strife should the both of you want to turn at the same time;) .

[Pete Jordan]

Ken,

Have you slipped the hint about mustard in the stocking yet?

[Frank Chaffee]

Terrific pens Sharon! Each of them look to be very comfortable in use.

I might just try some of that spinny stuff when I get my lathe moved out to AZ this winter!

[Tom Sherman]
