    Nice to meet you in detail, Johnathon!! And I sure wish I was still 175 lbs young... . Sadly, I'm not.

    Terrific interview Bub! For some reason in all of your posts I'd never picked up on the fact that you were just a youngster. It's great to know more about you and good luck on all of your other endeavors.

    Same here Curt! I never would've guessed you to be only 17 Jonathon.
    Excellent interview! Very good to get to know you better. You have a very well rounded list of interests and you'll go far with whatever you decide to do. I wish you the best of luck with everything in the future!

    Great interview Johnathon, your diverse interests should give you an interesting journey. Watch out for those pounds they have a tendency to hitch-hike and when you get to be an OF they are hard to get rid of.

    Great interview Jonathan! It's nice to know more about you! Take your time and investigate what you might want to do for a profession in the future. Find something that's interesting and challenging so it doesn't become boring! Like others here....I'd never had thought you were only age 17.

    I'm another one who thought you were older after reading your posts for quite a while. You're a very articulate person for any age, and you turn out nice work.

    Great interview Jonathan! I didn't realize your age either, had you guesstimated as mid to late 20s or so. Keep up the good work!

    Jonathan...

    Very nice interview, glad to get to know more about you. I sure wish I got started turning as young as you did. Very nice work as well.
    Happy and Safe Turning, Don

    Jonathon, Great Interview. . . . It was great to lean more about you. Keep up the turning, and keep posting.
