I sign everything, but don't put a date unless it is a gift. I sell a lot of stuff, and if it takes a couple of years to sell, the date, well...... dates it. I find that my customers seem to want...
That's outstanding Richard!
I hear ya Mike, I don't think you can go wrong with a Makita, Bosch or Dewalt ROS, you can get any of these in variable speed for well under $100. I've had all of them at one time or another. I have...

I have had good luck soaking the punky spots with poly, giving it a couple days to cure, re chuck it, then carefully use a negative rake scraper for a smooth finish. Also, I use epoxy all the time...

Very nice! I've never used avocado wood, but was told it wasn't very interesting to turn, but I'm thinking differently now, that wood looks really cool...
I have an Echo string trimmer and leaf blower, 54 volt. No complaints. The blower doesn't blow as hard as as gas, but meets my needs. Good battery life, gets the job done in one charge....
