    Proof that I actually have been turning!

    I've been doing mostly pens lately, and I'm trying to get back in the habit of posting here, so I'll reintroduce myself with 5 that I just did. 4 were for an order, and one for the wife.

    Hope everyone is doing well, and it's nice to be back around again.

    Patrick,

    I'm doing well overall. I almost have my shop finished and hope to get back to turning really soon!

    I just spent 2 weeks in Arlington, TX. Don't eat the tomatoes! I did and paid for it for 4 days and it's not pleasant!

    Things are going well!

    Thanks everyone! Ken, sorry to hear about the tomatoes! Yikes! Tony, yes, the kitchen is thankfully done, and we're enjoying it. I'll try to get a photo. I have lots of in-progress photos but ran out of steam by the end!

    Very nice pens!

    It seems to me, ( a relative newcomer) that other commitmants are constantly getting in the way of our turning. Glad to see you're back in the vortex. Keep makin chips.

    Thanks guys, it's nice to feel welcomed back even after so long without posting.

    Bob, you're right, it's all about juggling commitments. My kids are 6 and 11, and it's TOUGH to find time and energy to turn, and to have that time & energy occur at the same time!
