Hi Chris:

Glad to see your post, welcome back to the Creek. Sounds like you've been dealing with some of the bumps of life; I hope you only have smooth paths ahead.

We moved to Douglasville, GA 15 months ago. I'm still turning and loving it, even have some items in a local gift shop.

I remember turning on Beauty a few years ago. Hope you're back at it soon.

Best regards, Tom

Chris buddy. Good to have to you back and posting. It has been a long time and hope your move will only improve your health. I think the last time you and I had talked was trying to make a C-Man lathe I had work. I finally took it to the dump and bought a DVR XP. Again good to see ya back and hope things are going well for you.

Now that is what I call blasphemeryizing.

Tom, how about if I top some Butter Pecan Ice Cream with Oak Shavings? After all, you know how he is about Ice Cream!

Thanks Bernie, Good deal on the DVR. Looking forward to visiting with you more.

It's nice to see some people returning to the Creek that were here prior to my joining. Welcome back!

Thanks David, It is really good to see others I knew returning as well.

It's nice to see you here - I've looked at a lot of your work, since I have so much oak. Looking forward to seeing new stuff!

[John Keeton]

Chris, I am late to the "Welcome Back" party, but I look forward to some of your posts. I did look back at some of your turnings, and you do some fine work.

Also, some of us need all the help we can get dealing with some of the old codgers that have become cantankerous, and hard to deal with. I wouldn't normally talk that way about Bernie, Andy, Tom and some of the others, but you know what I am saying....!!!!

Thanks Cathy, I don't know that those works are all that good but then we do get better with age and practice...hopefully.

Thanks John. Now as to the Cantankerous Ones, I know what you mean but I suppose there are those who would say the same of me. Now as to the BIG THREE; There is Bernie the Bear but he is a Teddy Bear at heart. Then we have Tom the Trouble Maker but he is really Tommy Tortus, he is slow and deliberate but he always crosses the finish line. Well, the lineup isn't complete without the most notorious of the gang, Andy the Aardvark.
Now, Andy the Aardvark only turns as a guise, he really turns to feast on all the ants and termites that he cuts from the bowl blanks and what meal would be complete without the big famous cup of Moxie. The way to keep him in line is to put a pretty girl in the room with him. He goes all mushy and looses his ability to be ornery.

Welcome back Chris....It's good to see you again. I was absent for quite a while m'self...but managed to swim upstream to make it back.

Looking forward to some more dazzling oak work.

[Tom Sherman]

Me a trouble maker??? I love it...if I can figure it out I'm gonna use that tortise in my signature
