I copied this from his site...

"I am Alex and I'm 12 years old. I would like to be a doctor some day; but college and medical schools are expensive, so I've started my own business to help contribute to my college education."

It's called:

I'm turning my hobby of woodworking into a business to help contribute to my college fund. I make custom pens in my dad's workshop at our home in North Carolina. I hand turn the pens on a lathe from hardwoods and acrylics, polish them with a durable finish and assemble them with top of the line pen components."

Alex is a member here. He recently posted some nice Christmas pens he did.

Now it comes full circle, I found this site because my husband (flyingron) sent me the link to the video of Alex turning. As a former middle school teacher I thought "cool kid" and starting wandering around the internet and found this group. I've made one pen so far, and half a bowl, but the bowl is being done with the instruction (read help) of a neighbor.
