Well, I've been itching to get up to see Bill for over two years now and I was finally able to make it this week. The lessons learned over the two days are too numerable to list here but lets just say that if you are a hobbyist like me and you think you know how to turn, then taking lessons from someone like Bill will be an awakening. Bill was a tremendous teacher as well as host along with his wife and daughter. What a truly wonderful family. If any of you may be considering going to see Bill I would encourage you to the fullest.

p.s. - the line across my forehead in the close up photo isn't from where Bill smacked me in the head, although I gave him plenty of reasons to do so.
