    Talking Little Gloat---Yippeee

    This is so cool that I just had to share with everyone here.
    A first for me.
    The mailman brought me this today.
    An autographed photo of Norm Abram-and a Thank-you letter--from Delta Machinery.
    They have published a project post of mine.
    I had just finished one of my Fern Stands and a Coffeewood lamp and entered it on their web site.
    I had also posted pics here of the same project.
    So over at Deltamachinery.com---members area---stories and projects--Kentucky Coffeewood Project
    That's me.
    In keeping with policy here is a pic.

    Congratulations Gary! Is that the Kentucky Coffeewood stand that you turned on your lathe when the wood looked larger than the lathe? That was extreme woodworking! But the final result was very nice. Once again, congratulations and keep up the good work!

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Mike this is a different stand---the lamp is Kentucky Coffee Wood.
    I like fern stands---I do not really sell very many of them but enjoy building them.
    I think I sold two last year.
    I did call the man up who bought the stand and told him about his purchase being on Delta's site. He got a BIG kick out of that.

    Pretty cool I got Norm's picture from Delta the day before yesterday for posting a pic of my 1930'S Double Duty lathe.
    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

    My web page has a pop up. It is a free site, just close the pop up on the right side of the screen

    Bart I will have to go check that out. I like old tools.

    Bart I went and checked out your lathe---that is very cool. Kinda neat that we both ended up on their site.

    Congrats Gary ! I hear you may have a signed calander by Penchetta as well to put next to Norm.

    Love the Fern stand, some of the best cedar I have seen, I bet that cedar would make some real nice pens, Anthony

    Congrats Gary. Way to go!

    Now you have to make copies of Norm and share, right?
    Alan T. Thank God for every pain free day you live.

    Awesome, Now You Are Famous!

    Alan, if you go the New Yankee Workshop web site, you can get a PDF of his picture and signature. I am afraid this will be the closest I'll get to an actual autograph!
    Wood is Good!
