My first gloat

[Kevin McPeek]

Well I don't get to gloat too much around here but I get to now. This is also the reason I haven't been very active and haven't been turning at all lately. Maybe after I get the hang of poop patrol and burping, I'll find enough time to get back into the shop. And yeah, the fountain of youth has already got me.

I of course will have a lot more to say about him in the future, he was born 12/3 and is my first.

[Neal Addy]

BIG congrats, Kevin, to you and LOYL! Good lookin' boy!

Looks like you'll have your hands full for a while. Turning can wait.


BTW, they know what causes that now. ;)

[Ron Erickson]

Congratulations they are so wonderful.

[Dean Thomas]

Build yourself a sign and read it regularly:

Hug 'em early and often!

Going into production now that you have the prototype?? :eek:

[Joe Mioux]

BIG CONGRATS!!!!

the poop thing is easy..... Lift, wipe, drop, and roll.

Changing diapers can be an adventure, especially with boys.

When do you think you will buy him his first spindle gouge?

[robert hainstock]

Great piece, beautiful figure and lots of thought went into that piece of art. 10 attaboys for you and your helper. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Andy Livingston]

Great gloat!!!! Congratulations! BTW, what type of finish did you use? :p
Really, great!

[Bill Wyko]

ATTABOY! Congradulations. I'll hava a cigar on your behalf tonight.

[Kevin McPeek]

Thanks everyone!! I have to admit he might be the perfect baby ;)
He has already had a quick tour of the shop just so he knows all of the toys he'll get to use when he's bigger.
I was a little surprised about the hair myself, but I saw some of my baby pictures and found we looked a lot alike.

[Tom Sherman]

Great gloat Kevin, start training him early good helpers are priceless.

[Bruce Page]

Congratulations to both of you!
Kids are cool...especially grandkids! :D

[Curt Fuller]

Man, it just doesn't get any better than that!

Congratulations!

[John Hart]

Congratulations Kevin!! Another lifeform on the planet...Cool!:) Ya know....he won't be tall enough to turn for a while....but I bet he'll love to crawl around in the shavings!!;)

[Alex Elias]

That is great news. Congratulations. I wish you the best with the new member of the family. Now you life is about to be completed.

[Brett Baldwin]

That's a pretty good job you did there, fairly symetrical with some interesting wing sections and a little natural edge on top. The foot section looks a little crooked but maybe thats just the angle of the picture. Interesting fabric finish on this one. Not really my style but it seems to go well. I think its a keeper. ;):D

Congrats to you and your wife Kevin.

[Christopher Pine]

Congratulations! A great Gloat indeed!

[Don Orr]

Doesn't get any better than that ! Huge Congrats and well done !!

[Jay Kilpatrick]

Congratulations!!! One day you may think of the first thought I had when you mentioned poop patrol, "Wow, Have I really been changing diapers for 7 years:confused:..." and there isn't and end in sight. Okay, so that was a bad pun :rolleyes:

[Jason Clark2]

Congrats Kevin and Kim. I for one am a bit surprised the little guy didn't come out with a gouge already in hand.

Jason

[Mike Vickery]

Congrats Kevin and Kim. I for one am a bit surprised the little guy didn't come out with a gouge already in hand.

Jason
I think Kim would have been surprised if he had!

[Nancy Laird]

Kevin, Congratulations on your new little one. I'm sure he already has you wrapped around his little finger. He's a keeper, and a December baby!! Good show!

Nancy (11 days)

[Glenn Hodges]

Now by George that is something to be proud of. Thanks a whole bunch for letting me see him.

[TYLER WOOD]

Hey that's one of the greatest gloats on this forum. Well done!! Ohhh but wait a little while before you try another one.

[Kevin McPeek]

Thanks again guys!!
I know a lot of us moan and groan when the mother-in-law comes for a visit, but holy cow I am glad she is here. My sanity would be in jeopardy, not that I had a whole lot to give before.
I am amazed the amount of poop that can come out of such a small thing. It seems like when ever I change him he decides he's not done with one thing or another or both. At 4 in the morning its not nearly as easy to laugh at as it is during the day. But what can you do...

[Robert McGowen]

Why are YOU up at 4 am? I thought you were married. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Martin Braun]

Kevin,

Congratulations!!! Maybe now I will have a chance to catch up to the number of turned pieces you have created ;-).

It only gets better from here. Just wait till the potty training is over, you'll be wondering why you didn't start having them earlier ;-).

[Kevin McPeek]

Robert,
Right now I'm only up because I have a couple weeks off work. We'll see if that changes though... I can hope.
Martin,
I'm easy to catch up to, Mike on the other hand is a machine. I have a couple weeks off at the end of the year so I hope to knock out some turning then though. We'll see what kind of schedule my son has in store for me though.

[Tim Gruss]

Congradulations! I'm sure your turning time will be cut in half, but it's worth it Dad...:rolleyes:

[jeremy levine]

Congrats.

I have three and I would gloat every day if I could. Trust me when I say this "the first three month ( of your first child ) take exactly three months. The rest fly by".

On a side note my 2 year old just got a gift of the "Black and Decker" toy tool box, now he walks around the house saying "my tools, my tools" porbably picked that up from me.:D

[Kevin McPeek]

I think Kim would have been surprised if he had!

I think she feels like he came out with a whole set of tools, not just a gouge.
