Thanks for the nice words you guys. I did spend quite a bit of effort on the Fall Drawing, but overall, it was well worth it and helped us raise some funds. And just so you all know that I think about our great Pony Express process, I personally delivered the Rikon bandsaw to John Scovil; the Lee Valley Block Plane to Cathy Skipper in Irmo, SC; then the Kreg Jig to Jeffrey Howard (along with the Lee Valley handsaws and marking gauge for Evans Harris); and then stopped to see Mark Engel to deliver his clamps. This coming week, I will meet up with Mark McGuire in Asheville to turn over his double prize win, the Lee Valley sharpening system and the three DVD's on Inlay techniques from Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. Just my way of saying thanks for everyone's contributions to this great website.
Oh yeah, I had dinner at Dino Drosas' restaurant in Myrtle Beach last night -- this is nothing in this world as good as the crabcakes at the Flamingo Grill! He and I had a great chat after dinner.
