Some one can fix this. I have to sign in each and every time even though I have hit Remember Me! I thought I had msg’d admin. but no answer yet. Please, I love this forum and people, but my nerves are frayed. Some of this is due to my health concerns, which I am happy to keep to myself at...

As well as my wife Lucy! She wishes you many Happy Returns Ed, as she has for the past many years! And from me Happy Birthday too. Hoping many more for you. See you at the next breakfast?

The Ambassador and my first born Julie with the quilting thingie he made for her as a Christmas gift from Lucy and I. Thanks so much, Larry! You are a very much valued friend as well as a real gentleman!

This item has been SOLD! This is the MiteRExcel gauge that Jessem manufactured in Canada prior to leaving for the Southern US. It has been discontinued and is no longer available. This one is in excellent condition having been used sparingly since I have the Acusquare Sliding Table as well as...

My health is such that any future turning by myself isn't going to happen. So it's up for sale, it's wired for 220V. Asking firm $2200, (cash preferred) includes any and all wood dust from turning. No other extras included! Serious inquiries only please, pictures on request but can be seen...

Thomas that is! And wishing many more for you!

Another member for the GEEK Squad! Met Mr. I. T. Tech or Techie if you are on more friendly terms with him!

He's known as Mr. Stealth at the present time. When we get to know each other better he'll become Stealthy!

Next Saturday, Feb. 21 the Durham Woodworking Club in Oshawa will be making a presentation of 200+ turned pens to Jim Shaver the originator of the project www.Pens for Canadian Peacekeepers.ca. This group turned by myself is just a small group of those to be presented!

Anybody hear from Ned? Haven't had an update to his Kickstarter since Dec. 14. I recall seeing a post regarding his parent/parents not being well!

My daughter that lives in MI has recently taken up quilting. I had the brilliant idea :D to turn her a Seam Ripper. These things are just as addicting as pens, you just can't turn 1. A great project to use up those left over lengths of acrylics.

Not a great picture, my Canon S5 IS decided to give up the ghost, and I had to use an SX 200 IS which I'm not used to. Looks like the new Canon SX 60HS is in my future. Anyway this is a chrome plated Triton Rollerball with red acrylic and aluminum inserts. The wood is Manitoba Maple Burl, known...

Not really an original idea! A great friend of mine sent these as blanks to me some years back. He didn't think they had the standards of pen blanks that he wanted to turn into pens! What do you think?

I think it went some how like this; "If you love something, let it go; if it comes back to you, it was meant to be yours! This one came back to me yesterday. Not the one that left me, but it's twin. I owe my daughter-in-law a pen. Hopefully this weekend, I'll get it done!
