    a good day

    today, early this morning i was at a church event raising money fo world hunger from 8am yesterday till 8am this morning. then when i got home, after some sleep, i got to open presents for my birthday since i turned 17 today. i got a bunch of wood blanks. osage, walnut, olive wood. i also got a walnut burl. and then i got to spend the rest of the day turning. if i finish anything tommorow i will post it. i did bend the tommybars for my chuck though, i guess i should use a hole hand to squeeze them together. just use the other end of them? or get 1/4 inch bars?

    Curtis - Happy Birthday and congrats on all the wood! Glad you were able to spend the day turning! Looking forward to seeing the results real soon!

    Oh, just to let you know, I have my birthday written down somewhere so I don't have to remember it! Just wish I remembered where I put the note....

    Happy Bday Curtis.

    17!!! I think I was that young. I am like Steve - I don't remember.

    I envy you and the lifetime of turning pleasure that you will have.

    Congrats on the wood and happy birthday. My birthday was on the 4th, except I'm 2 years older. I think you and I might be the youngest turners on the forum.

    I have shoes older than you!!

    Curtis, Happy birthday! Like I said I have shoes older than you! Sounds like a good haul for the day! But why so much pressure on the tommy bars? Must be the youthful exuberance! Have fun!!

    Another medium old man in the vortex!
