Thanks Jim and David it’s about 6 degrees in my shop and her Bday was on the 6th. Besides if anything she would rag on me about having too many tools. Heck I got two lathes. But thanks for the nice words both of you.
I know the photography sucks. I gotta get me a new camera.

Mike – Hope you sized the ring holder to your budget. If it looks too empty she may want to divert some of the wood budget for rings.

Very nice Mike. I especially like the finial – very intricate.

-- I've never seen a tree that I wouldn't like to repurpose into a project. I love the smell of wood in the morning - it smells like victory.

Thanks guys, Naw she knows there just isn’t any money, so if I can’t buy any rings, I sure can’t buy lumber.

Nice work buddy! hay will you board stretching work on dollar bills?

Thanks Rick. I like your stuff too. It should work on dollar bills, don’t know if the treasury would like you doing it to their money or not. Just don’t get caught Dennis. What do you think that’s gonna do for your buck anyway, fool some redneck into thinking he’s stretched his dollar? I didn’t just fall off the rutabaga truck u know. Thanks Dick, it’s been a while since I went out and built a fire. Got rid of a lot of scraps and projects that didn’t turn out.

Very nice Mike that must be one sweet ring to go with your turning ….....

Mike: A great big congratulations on the turning. It looks great, and I guess that means that the lathe is back in business.

Give you wife a B’day kiss from me since I can’t be there.

LOL

Heck Pommy, she’s got one for every finger. Probably the most expensive one is her mom’s, she had her Dad’s and her Moms rings all fused together and it made one huge son of a gun. Don’t know what it’s worth but I keep telling her to get it insured. Someone’s liable to kill her for it. At least lop off her finger. I shouldn’t be writtin this I’ll have every crazed damn fool trying to track her down. Well it’s in the bank so they can forget it. Thanks a bunch Karson, be glad to about the kiss. Yes, the lathe has been in operation for about 3 months now. Right after I bought that other Delta at auction. LOL. The old one they put a heavy duty converter on, I had to run 10 gauge wire for that and had to have its own 30 amp breaker. All because Delta said they don’t make em any more. Bull$#@^&%*
