Congratulations on becoming an octogeriatric. Hope to make it there myself. Still turning?

Hi, Michael,
You bet I am. Takes more than arthritis in my hands to stop me. Especially since ,my PM 3520b isnt a year old yet. Have turned 14 bowls for the empty bowls charitable org. here in Ft. Worth, and planning to make it 20 before the deadline. Thanks for replying. Max

Happy Birthday, Max. You leave a lot of 50 and 60 year old folks just following in your wake as you cut a swath through life. I bet that you will still be in warp drive as you go flying past the century mark.
Let's see, how many lathes do you now have -- is it 3 or 4? Maybe you will get a Stubby as a backup machine for your birthday. Myself, I've degerated into doing flatwork with square corners.
