We only do Woord turning on the Internet.

No offense, Ed. Couldn't resist the temptation.

Dave: Can you open "normal" thumbnails? If all else fails, try right click and "Open in a New Window."

February 2010 American Woodturner

Dave,
It worked OK for me. Check some of the other suggestions made.

Compleat or Complete? I can't wait for the new Journal.

Jerry,
You are correct about the reference to The Compleat Angler. Russ Fairfield cites the book in his article and uses "Compleat" in the title, "The Compleat Woodturner." I think it's a good article, and it is a pleasure to work with Russ.

In this crowd, I figured there would be those who had heard of that famous book. We editorial folks debated at length whether to go with the actual title of Russ' article, with "compleat" as it is, or put the word in quotes (distracting). Just as we suspected, it drew attention . . . of the good sort, I hope.

Lots of good reading inside (IMHO).

--Betty
 
I just wanted to express my pleasure with the Feb. American Woodturner. Thank you Betty and thanks you to all of the turners who took the time to submit articles. The Journal keeps getting better and better!
 
Were You There?

Hope the Were You There? becomes a regular feature. I have noticed the rapt attention from yesteryear is present today.

I like that photo, too. I hadn't thought about running more old photos in subsequent issues of the journal, but doing so is certainly a possibility. There are many to choose from because of the compiling that is being done for AAW's 25th anniversary book. I'll ask John Kelsey (the book's editor) if he has extra photos he would like to share.

But, Charlie, did you notice anything odd about that photo? Need a hint? --Betty

i did not reconize the lathe, and both lathes pictured have spindles on them.

Betty, is Manny left handed, or just the lathe? :)

Oops, I just saw how Mannys shirt and turning smock were buttoned...

Clifton, you are correct in your observations. The photograph is backward. No one stands by a lathe with their right hand on the headstock . . . .

Photo came to me that way. Jaime Donaldson first pointed out the error. John Kelsey and I have been having a chuckle at our own expense. :D

Gotta watch those headstocks, pockets and shirt buttons! --Betty
 
i was hoping someone would do a round robin with names, espically the "back of the heads" people :D
