SMC Turner Interview - Ben Werner

[Don Orr]

Great interview Ben. Real nice to get to know you. Always nice to meet another NY'er. I didn't know I was famous or anything resembling that. I just have a big mouth and don't have a problem speaking in front of people. My problem is NOT talking . If you and your Dad are interested, we are having a Woodturning Symposium in Albany in October. People under 18 get in free with a paid adult admission . Website is www.totallyturning.com for more info or PM me if you have questions.

I especially like your triangle box-outstanding! I have done a few things like that myself. In fact, I will be showing some introductory multi-axis techniques at the Symposium on Sunday 10/15/06. I could probably learn a few things from you. I would be real nice to meet you.

Keep turning and learning,

[Ernie Nyvall]

Great interview Curly. Nice to get to know you a little better. Very clever and funny. I think I see a writer in there somewhere as well as a turner. Nice looking family. So... how'd you get the nickname?

[Ben Werner]

Thanks

I'm still not saying where I got curly from or the other nickname you can keep asking though... I might break eventually

Don-I would love to go but I doubt I'll have the time with all my homework
ect... do you know if they've reached the 300 limit yet? I wouldnt be surprised.

any more intriguing questions that your dieing to ask me??

[Keith Burns]

Ben, great interview, nice to know more about you. You're ok in my book

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Super interview, Ben. If I may make a suggestion. If you replace the wood under your lathe with several bags of cement or sand, I believe that it will jump around a lot less.

Love your work. Keep trying new things and stretch you imagination.

Stay safe.

Bruce

Great interview Ben! Keep up the good work!

[Ben Werner]

Thanks for the suggestion Bruce, I'll try it next time I go out there.

I'd also like to thank Andy for interviewing me.
