True Confessions......

[John Keeton]

Events of recent days have weighed heavily on my heart, and I have been overcome with a need to publicly confess my hypocrisy. Shame has come upon me, and I am deeply humbled by my actions. I publicly apologize for the misrepresentations - nay, pure lies, that I have put forth on this forum. I openly regret the shame it has brought to my family and friends!

Notwithstanding that I have openly led others to believe differently, the truth is - I do, in fact, let wood shavings accumulate on my shop floor. And, in order to be fully forthcoming on this confession, the bulk of this mess (my Lord, I can hardly bear to look at the image!!) has been lying on my shop floor since Thursday!

I want to personally and publicly apologize to David D., and others that may have been misled by my constant berating of them for their own indiscretions. I hope, in some way, to be able to make up to them the loss of time from turning that was absorbed in cleaning their shops, painting their lathes, cleaning the ways on their lathe, and the endless other damage I may have caused.

Please find it in your hearts to forgive me! My commitment to each of you is to have this mess cleaned up before the sun sets today!
