Hi Woody....we don't know each other well, but I was a frequent fan of yours when you were posting images to the gallery on a regular basis, before I got started with my turning. That's brilliant news for you and I'm sure you must be very relieved to hear it.....although I'm not so sure that the news about you turning again is to my benefit, as I'm struggling with the level of competition on this site, already... ;)

Looking forward to viewing your postings again, one day.

Les

Cheers Young Lad,

Not up on my boats .. even for a lad who lived by the Sea .. and been to a few Islands .. Boats never look the same out of water ..  I'd go for a motor launch, an there are so many .. which one !!!!

I've a spare diamond parting tool, never used an I think it's an Ashley Iles .. I've seen some interesting mods. done to one before now, but I've not done anything, let me know if it would be of use, an I'll pop it in the post.

David

 PS ..  You'll need to change your Signature ...

Hi Woody  --  So glad to hear that you are on the mend. My father in law had a tripple bypass when he
was in his 70s and was told by his GP to start building up to walking 5-10 miles a day. He did this for the
last 15 years that he was with us so well done, good luck and glad to hear the news.

Excellent news Woody, really good to hear.

If you need some timber let me know, I could do with sorting through the wood piles & thinning them down & it would be nice to think the "thinnings" were going to be put to good use.

Best wishes.

Doug.

Hi Doug that would be great I am still trying to get a workshop built then fill it with new machines I have been given a sip lathe but I cant see that lasting long by the sound of it so as you can see I'm a long way from getting started yet I have shown many people to turn over the years and a lot of them are coming back with offers of help it restores your faith in mankind

Thank you Malcolm for your kind wishes it may be a little while before I start posting any of my work
