You are a fortunate man George being able to spend so much time passing on the craft. Something special about seeing that look of pride and satisfaction when someone achieves more than they thought they could isn't there? I have a lady coming in a week who has never touched a lathe in her life. Her husband passed away and left a load of equipment and wood which she has decided she wants to learn to use. Must confess I am looking forward to it a lot. If she goes away looking as satisfied as this couple I will be happy. Love teaching.

Thank you Pete yes I think I am lucky I do lots of teaching as you know and I never get fed up with it because every student is a new challenge.
Hard to believe but I am a very patient teacher and nothing is too much trouble I am very confident and I think I pass this confidence on to my students.

Regards George
