    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

    To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.

    Thanks

    Ernie, thanks for the nice compliment. I try hard to get thingd to come out nicely, but I'm not always successful.

    Ed, do you belong to any turning groups in the area? Think about coming to Totally Turning 2006 Symposium in the fall in Albany.

    And thanks Bernie as well.

    Great interview, Don. Looks like you have had an interesting life so far. Aren't wives named Barbara wonderful to have? Mine has stuck around for 39 years this November.

    Great to get to know you. That shop is a beauty. If I had something like that I'd probably call it 'home".

    My wife has a sister that recently moved to Kingston NY. Is that anywhere near where you're at?

    Don,

    A very nice interview and really refreshing to get to know a creeker/turner a little better.

    In a way, I wish I hadn't read the part about your "favorite lathe" as it only stoked the fire of my upgrade fever

    Look forward to learning more from your posts and sharing experiences.

    Nice to know y'all too !

    Thanks for the warm responses everyone! Really makes me feel at home here.
    Bruce, yes Barbaras are great! And not just mine . My wife has done so much to change mt life for the better I can only hope I have done a small fraction of the same for her.

    Curt, Kingston is about 1.5 hrs south of me. It was the original capital of NY state.

    Jim B., thanks, I'll give it a try.

    Bob, thanks for the encouragement. The 1642 Jet is a very nice machine. It's kind of the little brother to the PM 3520. Similar controls and features, just scaled down.

    Yikes!!! Seems you have enough spinny things there to start your own classroom!!! Looks to me like you have the talent to teach someone the "right way" of doing things! Great interview and nice to "meet" you, Don!
