Well, congrats Robert. What a nice recognition of your talent. Enjoy the moment.
Best regards, Tom
Sure I'll play. Keith, please sign me up.
Yes, like you I miss his art, humor and common sense. Life goes on for each of us, just differently.

Welcome! It is a wonderful world of skilled turners who can't wait to share their experiences. Join your local club and jump in. Then put enough money aside for a couple of lessons. Lesson 1 to...
What I'm thinking is: you should make a truck load of those and park yourself in Dallas or Austin with a For Sale sign.
Wally, congratulations to a couple who obviously knows how to share, care and love one another. I don't think I've ever encountered a 70th anniversary except for the little picture in the Sunday...
John, thank you for the effort you made to contribute to the woodturning community. Making 14,000+ posts takes time and we all only have 24 hours each day. I have benefited from your commentary,...
Echo on the HF hydraulic lift table. I block up the table with 6x6 deck posts and only need to move the table about an 1/2 inch to lift the lathe legs off the floor. Move the headstock and...

Seems like they will have something we could use.
Tom, in D'Ville, getting to push the order button at Caswell.
Roger, an interesting observation and one I thought I was also noticing, but really had not latched on to the idea. In short, the finish is dry in 30 minutes or so and can be recoated...but the next...
Joe, thanks for posting the beautiful walnut piece. Like your other critics, I am unable to offer suggestions for improvement. It's all good!
I am interested in the gilding process. Can...
John, another two cents worth: to my eye the moon is too large by a hair and the curve of the moon closes too much. Maybe just past 180 degrees but not as closed as that one. That said, it is...
Robert: What great news! My heartfelt congratulations. It is a beautiful piece and I know you've worked at developing your skills so it would be beautiful. Enjoy!
All the best, Tom, in GA,...
John, here's to a speedy recovery. All the best, Tom
Greetings fellow turners: Here's the problem: I don't know how to turn a terribly thin, can't possibly be done, that is crazy, spindle to adorn a hollow form.
Inspired by certain Kenny Rogers...
Let's do it all in one at once to keep some mass in the base...makes for less wobble. So, said directly, no, don't shape the outside first.
Lee, I would be happy to turn some cedar with you. It makes the shop smell great! We'll hollow out the piece and hopefully end up with a nice vase. Give me a call!
David, congrats on your your recent recognition. I've enjoyed studying your work and have photos of your pieces posted over my lathe as inspiration.
Also, your ability to assess people exceeds...
Rob: There are many clubs in GA; start there, get the books and video's from the club library. But really, join the club and schedule a mentoring session with one of the members. There is no...
Mineral Spirits in a spray bottle and a roll of paper towels will probably get you to the finish line.
Great thread! I'm 64 with Medicare card in hand in anticipation of a Dec 65th birthday.
In Sept 2007 someone on the Creek commented that Amazon had three Delta LA 200 lathes for $125 with free...
David, congrats on your B&B win. It was a fabulous piece. Enjoy the new tools, Tom
