Folks, not since waiting for Guilio Marcolongo to arrive to Maui I have been so excited! Stu is here, the Big Island now, he's coming to Maui Wednesday morning. We had several other "celebrities" come over, Betty Scarpino and Dixie Biggs, but we found them other lodging. Stu will be staying with me 5 days... On Wednesday I'm planning on taking him way up the mountain, where the views are unbelievable and I will show him the Koa forest where I have been harvesting lately... I know enough woodturning to know and realize that I don't know much. I'm completely open to learning from guys like Guilio and Stu. Believe it or not, some guys are set in their ways, happy with what they are doing, and have not even bothered to join the only AAW club in the Island. One of them asked me, "Why would I want to join your club" I hope when I come back in my next life I'm also a turner, maybe in a few lifetimes of learning I won't have to sand anymore and hopefully I will finally master the skew.
I got to meet and talked some with Stu in Portland, still, I'm still a little "Star struck", LOL. I will be having a one on one with him, hopefully, in my shop, then a club demo, then a hands on with 2 other club members. That would leave him one full day to relax and maybe go to the beach, clothing optional, but if I can afford it, I will keep him hostage in my shop. Aloha from Maui
