Hi all,

I think you will enjoy this article from the April 5 The News&Observer

http://www.newsobserver.com/371/story/1025806.html

Jim is a fellow AAW member. You may have seen Jim's AAW symposium session described in the Spring Journal. This is a first to our AAW Symposium, A scientific evaluation of turning steels.

The article also mentions Alan Leland and a bit about running a community shop.

Oh! Check out the photos too!
enjoy,
Al
