    I'm Published ...

    ... well sort of, on the internet that is. See the link to our club website where they have posted my instructions on turning Stoppers. I've shared this with many other turners and updated it several times over that last year or so. Now its out there for anyone to use.

    http://www.centralillinoiswoodturners.com/tips.html

    I have a goal to get a story published in one of the turning magazines. I have a few ideas, just haven't got it done yet. This is a mini step toward that goal and I guess a bit of a gloat to boot.

    Hey, congrats, Frank! Well done and very well documented. I could easily see something like that picked up by a magazine. Good job!
    Cheers,

    Wow Frank - thanks for the article! Very informative and could have easily come from a magazine! You'll get published - just a matter of time!

    Way to go, Frank! That's a good read and nicely done.

    Can I have your autograph?

    Way to go, Frank!

    We're all nationally known turners now (in the "turning community"). but some are more nationally known than others.

    Oh....and Frank.....I passed that on to Nancy a few weeks ago! This article being published on the web makes you even more famous! I can now say I watched Frank turn before he bacame famous.....He invited me into his "studio" to observe him turn one of his creations! Seriously, Frank it's a well written and photographed article. Congratulations!

    Thank All,

    'Famous', my assistant at work keeps telling me I am going to be a Famous woodturner. I always ask her to name just one famous woodturner, of course she can't.

    Thanks again
