    As The Wood Turns

    Last wed I had a local News crew (Tim Cable) come by my shop and do a little segment on Me and my turning.
    Since 1990, Tim has hosted "Cable Country," a folksy feature-type segment profiling unique people in and around Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and western North Carolina. Tim describes the segment as "a poor man's Charles Kuralt." Tim also anchors "NewsChannel 11 at Five" weekdays at 5:00 p.m.
    It aired last night and he already has it up on his Blog, Here is a link so you can check it out.

    That is so cool, and you did a great job with the interview. A natural in front of the camera. You can be the turners version of Norm.
    Have a Nice Day!

    Well Done

    Jim,

    I'm very impressed with your composure on camera. You carry yourself well, speak with confidence, and, I think, left a great impression with the viewer. Marry that with your excellent work and I'd say you hit a grand slam. Congratulations!

    Alex

    Jim,

    That is a great story. Well done by both the Talent and the staff!

    Of course it's easy to see why they picked you. Bald woodturners are smarter and better looking than the average citizen.
