Hello All,
It is with deep sadness I must announce that the woodworking show that John Sillaots, Ken Tunnard and I have worked so hard to get off the ground, is dead.
No matter how hard we all tried, our schedules would not permit us to continue. At the beginning of the project, we all agreed that we would do it right or not do it at all. Since all of us are extremely passionate about what we do, it made no sense to any of us to produce a half hearted show because of scheduling conflicts.
On another sad note, my family and I have experienced a devastating personal tragedy that threatened to take from us all we have come to know and cherish. To the point where I would have to give up my first love……………………..woodworking. But by the grace of God and professional help, we are overcoming.
Folks, I don’t mind telling you that this has been the lowest low I’ve ever experienced; this is truly the darkest part of my 51 years. I find solace in my woodworking though as I always have.
Right now I’m down for the count but for those who know me, they know that I won’t be down for long. I’m a fighter and I’m getting up off the canvas as I write this and when I’m standing fully erect………………….heads up. Look for something new from me in the future……………….I’m on my way back.
On a lighter note……………………I dropped 65 pounds.
All the best
Gord
