    HY guys remember me well just to let you know I am still alive. I have been helping my son a lot but times are hard for any fledgling business these days. Anyway I just wanted to say and remind you guys how wonderful you all are and what you mean and have meant to me over many years. I am not sure if you know but I had a cancer which was in my face but thanks be to Jesus it seems to be gone at least for now was at the maxilla facial surgeon last week and he told me just simply to enjoy. I have not done any woodworking well not much since I was last here and have had to employ my neighbour a few hours every now and then to help me with sorting and tidying up some things around my two shops. I am still into my spiritual studies ( not a religion ) as I still love Jesus and God who is the father of all of us but no preaching I promise. It is just that when I was around eighteen I got into Christianity and was let down many times by that whole thing then I discovered the truth re religion and money and religion and ,making people comply through fear etc. The bible was written at the formation of Catholicism which I am not and never have been, now I don't fear death or hell as I don't believe in it. God is all about love not revenge and punishment, and I want to say a few words about you guys and what your kindness and dare I say love has meant and done for me.I made some great friends here and I just want you all to know how great and wonderful you are as individuals. Thanks for all the kindness along the way apologies for absence but I needed it and now I want to come back slowly and be with my friends until the end. I will start some new things later this year and in the meantime will see what you guys have been up to .Very great feeling to be back with my pals the nicest bunch ever. Alistair Bronwen Bron and family.

    Nice shop. Your a great example of a person who has overcome what has been dealt you and learned to cope. It takes a strong person with a lot of character to accomplish that. In reading your bio it is apparent you have a family to be proud of.

    Thanks for the reply to my post on my band saw.

    Alistair- thanks for bringing me back to Lumberjocks- I forget to visit unless I have a reminder like your buddy request.
    I very much enjoyed the photographs of your work and shop. The hobby horse is quite a work of art. Two band saws! Yes! Every shop should have 2 band saws- and they look to be very good ones too.
    I haven't posted here in a while, but I now have everything I need for my next project- another harp. This time in cherry and with more of my design input both in style and decoration. I will keep a blog for that one also and maybe I should do it here. I wonder if I put a link to it then anyone can see it without 'joining' anything. I've used Blogger in the past for my 6 projects blogs, but maybe more woodworkers would see them here.
    Have you seen my other work? Here is my web site: www.woodworks-by-donna.com

    Hi Alistair thanks for your kind words I think I am a very lucky man like yourself. I had health problems. I had cancer on the bowel had my op 5 months ago. The surgeon said that he got it in time thank god! They took away 24 inches of the bowel no bag or nothing. It was high up on the right side so did not need any chemo or follow up treatment doing great now.

    Keep in touch

    Hey Alistair,

    scrolled forever to get to the end of this page. I saw some nice stuff on the way. Just wanted to thank you for your comment on my Project First Box. I don't normally reply to every comment I get but this one is different.

    Thanks

    Hi Alistair,
    The portrait is considered as fretwork.
    I use a small blade on my scroll saw to cut those lines.
    Thanks for stopping by!
