Hi Phillip!

After three years no hello?

Good to see you and glad to have to back with us!

What have you been doing?

 

[AmishWarlord]

I'll have to tell Tony about this one.

Hi Mike. Sorry for the quick post-n-run. I was between coats of lacquer. I've been working at a millwork shop. I'm shop supervisor now, which only means that when something goes wrong its my fault. Really though, its a good job, I'm learning a lot. There are a few people here in Greensboro getting into the Japanese tools, so I started a club to push it. Hopefully we'll get a few people out for the contest and start building some momentum. Did you come out to the woodturning symposium? I was there setting up for Woodcraft but I spent the weekend teaching at the store and in my shop.

How are you doing?

AmishWarlord, please tell Tony! Who's Tony? We'd be excited to have more contestants. Thanks for looking guys.

That's great!

My daughter is in Japan for a year and I have been trying to get her to go looking for tools for me. No luck yet.

I'll try to come watch the competition if you send me the info.

Don't really have time to start something new but I do try to incorporate the best of all types of techniques into anything I do.
