Hey folks. Signing in from Monterey California. I look forward to talking with you fellow turners.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Welcome to the Creek Alan! Wade right in the water's fine! The inmates...er..turners here threw me into the Vortex a little over 2 years ago. They are great bunch including one guy who thinks the only lathe is Mayo(Oneway). :rolleyes: We like pictures!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Alan - Welcome to the Creek! Monterey is one of my all time favorite places! Loved eating on the warf, hanging out at the aquarium and I learned how to dive out in the bay! Looking forward to seeing some of your work and like Ken says - we like lots of pictures!

Hi Alan, Welcome to the forum. If you learn half as much as I have already from these guys you'll be doing great.

[Dennis Peacock]

Allen welcomes Alan to the Creek. This is a fine place to learn... and have fun while you're at it.
Ken... do you mean there really is another lathe... besides Mayo??? (head shaking, kicking rocks.... ) :D

[Alan Huey]

Thanks All. I was turned on to this site by my good friend from Houston, TX, Tom Hamilton.
Happy Turning

[Stephen Henderson]

Hi Alan,

I'm new here as well. I grew up on the Monterey Peninsula, and don't get back often enough. What are you turning? Have you used any Eucalyptus? Next time i go down, I will have to bring some back to Idaho.

Good luck and welcome.

Stephen

Allan,
Welcome. You will find some of the nicest people here, who are always willing to help a fellow Turner. One word of caution. "One step into here, and your in the Vortex for life."

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Alan, welcome to the cool waters of the Creek; however, beware...you have just stumbled into the dark side...The Abyss, the place where your shop is never big enough and your wallet is never full enough.:D;)

[Brian Weick]

Allen,
Your going to like this place , they are a great group of people and always willing to help out!
welcome!:)
Brian

[Alan Huey]

Thanks All.
Stephen, been turning a bunch of Walnut Burl that a freind gave to me. All in prelim stages, nothing finished to show yet.

Ken, Christopher, I have been in the abyss for longer than I want to admit. In addition to the shop never being big enough or the wallet full enough, the biggest challenge is that there is never time enough...:(

Cheers All..

[Tom Hamilton]

What a surprise! Welcome Alan. We've missed our Saturday phone call for a couple weeks and I missed your first post.

Alan is an experienced woodworker and very accomplished. He's also one of the good guys. A wonderful addition to the Creek family.

Looking forward to Saturday's telecon, Tom, in Houston, where it was 95 today.

[David Newson]

Hi Allen - And a welcome to the forum, lots of real nice people here that are always helpful , as you can see from my location the word has spread far and wide.

[Alan Huey]

Been on the road. I took the heat to Toronto with me this week. Should have been cool, but 95 with 45%Humidity. Yikes. I have never been sweating during a thunderstorm before??
Wow, thanks for the kind words. Talk to you tomorrow.
Enjoy meeting everyone.
