Thanks Al. I've gotten some good mileage out of it so far. Our turning club is growing here and I have 3 more potential members due to this article. I've gotten 2 commission jobs (both non turning which is interesting) out of it. Fortunately I happen to be a pretty decent flat wood worker so that works out.
The paper just started putting the full articles with photos online so you can e-mail links. That's pretty cool and made it easy for me to send it to friends.
I probably didn't say it enough but the AAW has been a huge help to me over the years. Just meeting the people was enough but all I've learned and all they've done for me has really helped my sanity. Heck I almost don't even cuss at my computer anymore. I said almost. :)
