    Travis, I haven't had anything to post lately. I'm tied up most evenings finishing out a basement for a friend. Hopefully after that is finished I will get back to turning! I'm also going to Mexico the 18 for a week to build a Cafeteria at a childerns home. I will post pictures of that when I get back.

    Love the work, very nice, and love the pic of the lathe, looks like it gets used!

    Cheers!
    Hi Stu, that was my grandfather's lathe that I started out on. It's a good little lathe very sturdy. Hard to change speed on though. I now turn on a jet 1236.

    Ken and Tyler, I need to post some new shop tour pictures. I haven't finished by any means but it is at least functional at this point and I have the duct work up for the cyclone.

    Jim, You are welcome in Tennessee anytime!

    You have a beautiful family (including your Cat), and turn some wonderful pieces. BTW, 1958 was a vintage year for babies, so no wonder your ROCK!!!

    Thanks Ernie and Pat. 1958 was a good year! Bob the cat thinks that he is the King of the yard and shop. I also have two others that live in the house.

    Sparky,

    Sorry I'm late in getting around to replying. I enjoyed your interview and it is nice getting to know more about the friends we make on SMC. I look forward to rubbing elbows and experiences with you as time goes.

    Thanks for sharing your personal side.
