Hey Jim, well as always, great to know a little more about someone who throws a post out here every now and again! To say I'm impressed with your turning and general WW skills, would be an understatement but, the one thing which still stands out about you, is what you did for me as a WW a number of years ago. Let's see if you remember this: I was still very green to WW and to turning, especially. You had a steady-rest you were trying to sell on the forum and I decided it would be a nice add-on to have. So far, not that big a deal. What was a big deal to me is that you gave me a very meaningful insight into what it was being a real part of a WW community, such as the Creek. In this case, it was trust. You sent the unit along to me long before you took payment for it. This, my friend, was my first real lesson in the spirit and belonging to such a WW community. I have since seen and been the recipient of such spirit many times over here at the Creek but, for me, you're the guy who started that. I've never forgotten that and have tried to bring it forward whenever possible. Thanks!
Cheers,

Great interview Jim. I already knew you were a great woodworker and a very generous one with your time, advise and experience, however I really grew to admire you thru your efforts to adopt the girls. They are beautiful. I hope and pray God continues to bless you and your family.
