The transfer will take place on Thurs 3/22/2007 at noon at the Chilis in Apex. We'll have a lunch there too!!

David, Did I get the correct day or did mess upp again. (we are working around David's out of town schedule.

 

[DaveO]

Excellent!! I'll be there too. Maybe with something to enhance the turning experience.

Hopefully you are bringing hockey gear if it is anything like my first turning experience :rolf:

Congrats David, look forward to seeing some pictures.

 

[Travis Porter]

I would like to go, but I will be out of town again.

DavidF, PM me your address and I will mail it. Postage won't be much anyway.

Way to go David - have fun with those wood beaters on that spinning wood. Now all you need is some thick wood to make bowls, what's the swing on that lathe again?

Thanks

Jeremy,
I might need to get a few leason's when you get the lathe! Might just spark my interest enough to venture into the vortex!

David's night stands will be on hold for a couple of months!

Can hardly wait to see some of the fine turnings comin' off of the GW lathe!

Sweet! Looking forward to David and then Jeremy's progress on the lathe!
Someday it's something I'd like to try, but I've got too many sticks in the fire as it is... So I'll just have to learn vicariously through you two! :rolf:

Congrats Guys!!! Be carefull, they are addicting:lol:

Jeremy, let me know when you get the lathe. I don't have much experience, but I'll be willing to walk you through a couple pens if you'd like!

Hot diggity! The first NCWWer Scholarship has been awarded . . . and it couldn't happen to more deserving members. :icon_thum

Nope, that is correct ALL THINGS BEARING EQUAL STRAIN! I am over here fixing broken machines so let's hope they cooperate!

I am thrilled and honoured at being chosen as the first recipient of the "Good will" lathe. Carol was also interested in having a go so we may be calling on those offers of instruction! Did we ever decide how long the "holding" period would be? Just so I know when I might get back to those bedside cabinets:lol: :lol:

Thanks to those people or even that person:lol: that nominated me; I will try to turn some nice things, but I refuse to compete with the talented pen turners we have here so I am going for another niche:lol:

See you all on Thursday:icon_thum
