Just wanted to tell everyone in the NE Texas area that Bob Thorman, owner of Woodways Furniture & Tools, Inc., is hosting a TAT this Saturday, January 29th, from 9 'til 3. His place is about 5 miles south of Greenville on Hwy 34.
There was a nice writeup in the Greenville Herald-Banner last week, including a picture of Bob turning a pen.
Bob is really excited about doing this! He has purchased 400 pen kits, and gave all the blanks to members of the Hunt County Woodturners to drill, glue, etc. to have ready for the TAT.
Besides Hunt County Woodturners, I know that the Tyler club (East TX Woodturners) will attend. Haven't heard from the Dallas, Ft. Worth, & Denton clubs, but I'm sure they will have representatives there also.
Anyone living or visiting in the area, come by Bob's shop and turn a pen or learn how to turn one. We are still delighted with the Freedom Pen Project and it's effort to show support for our troops!
