    Barry Stratton, what a Class Act

    Barry, you are a class act, thank you so much for your help in getting me the various parts for the C-man lathe!!

    I got the last of the parts today, Grizzly was out of stock till now. When I wanted to buy a chuck from Grizzly for the C-man lathe, I found out that Grizzly will only ship internationally if the order is over $200. I did not want to spend that much (doe is ever end........?), and had basically given up, then Barry, out of the goodness of his heart, offered to order the stuff for me, and then forward it to me.

    This is the quality of the folks we have here, I'm very happy to call myself a Creeker, and to count guys like Barry as friends.

    Oh yeah, he also included one each, Walnut, Cherry and Spalted Maple pen blanks in the box!

    Cheers!

    Glad everything made it to Tokyo, Stu. The least I could do for all the entertainment you've given with your ongoing logging operations!

    The least you coulda done was had that DVR shipped to Tokyo via Anchorage

    Stu that Barry is a good friend and a generous friend. I know. Been there, done that. Creekers are a good and generous bunch of people.
