Had quite the surprise when John Bailey (fellow moderator) stopped in today for a short visit. Called and invited my neighbor, Bob Hainstock, and the 3 of us managed to drink some coffee and talk woodworking this afternoon!
This was our first time getting together and after talking for an hour or so at the dining room table – moved on to the shop tour. As John is not a turner (yet) I explained some of what I do and the tools that help make those turnings possible. Did a short show & tell of bowls and hollow forms and, generally, just had a relaxed and enjoyable afternoon!
John is real busy with building a kayak, working on a boat and several other time consuming projects but expressed interest and is going to give some thought to getting a lathe. I offered some one-on-one training just to sweeten the pot a little! LOL

It was great to meet you John! Hope to get together again sometime soon as it sure was fun!
