I thought you might like to read about a fellow turner, William Macy.

There was an article about him turning some norwood pine a few years back. IIRC it was in Wood magazine.

[Jim Becker]

Correct, Ron...Phil Brennion spent some time in Bill Macy's shop for some instruction and turning. WOOD Magazine documented it for an article.

Oh, and while Phil is a "big Mayo" guy...Bill is in the Mustard crowd... :D

Thanks for sharing, Glenn. I thought I had heard before that he was a Turner.

I think we need him to join us here at the SMC turners forum.

If you guys haven't seen Wild Hogs you should. He's great in it!

[Chip Sutherland]

If I remember the article, he has 2 shops in 2 different locations. Each with a PM3520.....sorry don't remember if they were A or B versions.

Who can ever forget Macy's role in "Fargo" -- the crooked son-in-law and car salesman who set the whole mess in motion. He's a great actor.

He's also a great charactor actor, and has had numerous smaller parts in many, many movies. Stage trained, IIRC.

I saw him several years ago on Jay Leno, and he presented him a bowl as well. That was the first time I had heard he was a turner.

I can't remember ever having such a good time at the movies.
