No way I'm gonna reply to all those posts so I'll just lump it into one and say "Nice stuff, Joe."

[David E Keller]

I'm just excited that we've found someone that actually turns stuff out faster than Kathy!

[Joe Landon]

Thanks guys. I apologize if the number of posts are overwhelming. It was pointed out earlier that I have not been as active here as I could be. I wanted to introduce myself and my body of work to the Sawmill Creek community that is not familiar with me. I hope to earn credibility through showing rather than telling. I enjoy and appreciate this forum. I hope to contribute more in the future.

That's it, this site is now the Joe Landon turning site. I lost count trying to count the posts. And yes I'm totally jealous. Great pieces Joe. Don't wait so long to post such gorgeous stuff. Thanks for posting them and can't wait to see more.

Joe you have been a turning machine. All of those were extremely nice pieces.

[Scott Hackler]

Great bunch of work Joe. I just got done watching your video and realized at the end that I had seen it before! Still, a great video and your tool presentation is very good and you make it look easy. Thanks for sharing your work.

[Marty Eargle]

Been and admirer of your work for a while now and these works are no exception to your great skill and eye!

And I agree with Scott, your Youtube clip is invaluable...just wish it wasn't limited to one. Though I can't be sure I'd show many of my secrets either if my work were up to your caliber.

What a great collection of turnings! Every time I saw one that might be my favorite, I would see another "favorite" All very nice, but the dyed pieces and the matte black carved pieces are especially nice!

I'm just excited that we've found someone that actually turns stuff out faster than Kathy!

Oh nooo I've been de-throned! But even if I was turning stuff out faster, I'm not even in the same ballpark with Joe's quality!

Joe:

Some post about their tools, instead of turn with them.
Others let their tools speak through their turnings.

You have now earned the right to one un-moderated review of a tool - as long as you select from the approved list of manufacturers!

You have just posted a wonderful, creative body of work . I would say that you certainly are in tune with your medium as well as tools. Keep sharing - pieces as well as methods.

My hyper imagination sees someone capturing Joe and locking him away in a dungeon with provisions, a lathe and lots of turning blanks and tells him he won't be allowed back into the daylight until he has created a wealth of wonderful hollow forms. Welcome back to the light Joe. Nice work.

Joe,

All the pieces you posted are first class all the way............just wanted to acknowledge your work, and it has been a while since I have seen some of your pieces, but they do speak of your skill and creativity.

Wish I'd seen this thread before I started posting on the individual forms!
Joe, I discovered your tutorial on dying forms quite a while ago, and it's my bible on that subject. I just need more practice. You do such an amazing job on the dye, though, that it's easy to overlook the fact that the forms are so consistently stunning. Thanks for posting - it's inspirational.

[Dan Hintz]

Anyone care to point to the dying tutorial?

[Jim Underwood]

Dan,
Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it when you get there...
