An age old project.

Congrats for the milestones. Good luck with the next 65, hey you never know!

Congrats oldtimer, its all relevant. I used to think 60 was old, now I’ll be 59 in June it doesn’t seem that old anymore. lol. I’ve been married 37 years and feel I’m pretty lucky she’s put up with me for all these years. We’re both lucky. Happy Birthday and many more. mike

Congratulations, Lee. I have often said that after we reach 21, birthdays do not seem to have the excitement that they once did but this is still your special day. And, of course, it is always exciting when we add a new tool to the shop!!!

Enjoy and have a wonderful day. And keep us posted on the lathe as well.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Happy Birthday. I look forward to seeing what you turn out.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Trifern, nothing as good as you do. But thanks for the thought.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

My dad used to say your only as old as you feel. Most of us are just big kids at heart. Happy birthday.

We wish you a GREAT HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!!!

From now on, I’ve discovered that the years fly by like months used to.

So enjoy them!!

Happy Birthday.

It’s great to be so excited about a birthday and the gift it brings – Like it was when we were really young.

Woohooo! Eighteen, with lot’s of practice! Happy B-Day!

Congratulations Lee!

Happy birthday Lee;

I though the age was a typo, but since you have made comments after posting, I guess you really are 65.

I would be interested in knowing how you stay so young looking.

Maybe you’re just 45, with 20 years of experience.

Again, Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday…!!! And for a wife to stick by a tool hog and woodworker….wow, that’s some woman. Many more years of excellent work.

-- /\/\/\ BarryW /\/\/\ Stay so busy you don't have time to die.

Happy Birthday
Tie one on when you get that new mini-lathe and make the wife something!

Happy Birthday and cangrats on the new lathe! Ya got to show us photos when it gets there!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

Happy Birthday Lee!

No matter what Scott says, I’ve looked forward to each birthday after my 21st. Heck, it sure beats the alternative!

It’s great to get a lathe, you’re wife must really love you! You’ve got about 20 years to make my parents nuptial longevity. I know my dad’s secret, agree with her and go ahead and do what you wanted so long as no one gets hurt…what’s yours?

Happy Birthday again!

Thank you, all.

The lathe did arrive this afternoon.
As soon as I got it together I turned it on and varied the speed.
I just know that now I will be a better turner. (But still not as creative as trifern)

But I also see that i have to clean the sucker up before I put any good wood on it.

To the other Lee: The guy at the fair that guesses your age within 2 years? Loses BIG time. But time must be catching up to me. A few years ago folks were off 15 years on my age. Now they are only off 10-12 years.

Lee,

Happy B-Day!! Great present, too!!!!!

Happy Birthday OLDTIMER. LOL may you have many more.

Happy Birthday, Lee! I was going to press you for details about the new toy, but reading between the lines I garner that you went all out and got electronic speed control and a DC motor. Hope you will let the cat out of the bag with full reportage of the new wonder lathe. Best wishes for the next year of tremendous turnings and masterful marquetries.

Aren’t good wives an undeserved blessing, all-in-all? Certainly has been the case for me.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

I finally got the digital photos of my party “developed.”

Thought you might enjoy the 2×12 I got.
