    The Train has left the shop - finally

    I finally finished my train project and now I can get back to turning pens and bottle stopper. This was certainly more involved than I had planned on but fun!

    Holy Hannah, that is fantastic. What is the train's destination? Commission? Present?

    Eric, the train is going on the wall in my game room so I can look at it when I play pool!

  8. The word "artist" definitely comes to mind. I don't think I am over-stating it in the least by calling that a treasure.

    Wow Robert! That's about the most amazing piece I have seen on here. I just do not have the patience to even try that. Looks great and I'm sure it will be enjoyable for years to come.

    Beautiful work on the train Robert.
    Every time you play pool you will be able to see the fruits of your effort.
    I give you a thumbs up on patience.

    That is definitely the most impressive thing I have seen all day!

    I currently do not have the patience to do that type of detail work. Any time I try to do very small work I feel like I have mittens on and drank to may cups of coffee.
