It is so neat that, via this board, one can have friends all over the world. As an FYI, I am an American of Irish descent but I have nothing against the Scots.

From Quaker Philadelphia, we are holding you and Bronwen in the Light, Alistair. I hope she recovers in time to have a Blessed Christmas and enjoys better health in the New Year.

PS. I made my Scottish grandmother’s shortbread recipe yesterday and enjoyed a few squares in your honor, to the detriment of my waistline…

My thoughts are with you and Bronwen as you go through this challenging time Alistair. May the New Year bring you the health and happiness you are searching for…

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt!

Allistair and Bronwen:

I do hope that both of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hogmanay. I wish all your LJ friends could be at the First Footing.
You are both in our thoughts and prayers, you show us such decency and steadfastness.

Thanks again Guys I am just so proud to be apart of such a great team.You people are just the best .
I will be posting some things I made soon large platters bowls etc.
However more recently I bought the new Robert sorby Micro (red handle)texturing and spiralling tool then I bought a texturing cutter ( the wheel only) which doesn’t come with the package as it comes with two spiralling cutter wheels , then I made my own complete tool around this cutter and I figure it’s a better design which was designed by a great engineer pal of mine Fred .And I made it to his recipe, as the sorby one makes it a bit different cheaper production design for speed of manufacture etc also to cut down cost of manufacture. If you wish I will post some Pics .Fred also made a better version of the chatter tool I treated myself too.

-- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease

of course we want to see such a tool Alistair :-)

So sorry to hear of your troubles. I sincerely hope the holidays bring you some joy.

-- Terri, Rocky Mountain High Colorado!

Allistair, so sorry to hear that Bronwen is still so ill. Let her know that there is so much good energy being sent her way from all of us that she has no choice but to get well. We certainly miss your participation here…but I am sure everyone realizes what your priorities are…

This is the time of year that we all in the northern hemisphere have to suffer through the harshest cold and the long dark so that the spring can renew and refresh us. We are having a really hard winter so far in my area….lots of folks are sick with colds, flu’s…you name it. Christmas is supposed to buoy us through the winter and give us enough momentum to make it to the spring…at least that was the pagan’s purposes…good food, good wine….good spirits…sad that folks have forgotten this ancient ritual and even the more current vision of what Christmas is meant to be has been tarnished. For my part…let me and mine wish you the best during this time of year…and may the new year bring you and Bronwen health and happiness.

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

Hey Alistair my friend, I do hope this year shapes up better for your dear Bronwen.
Be assured, I am praying for you guys.
Be strong my friend.

-- Andy Halewoodworker. You can't finish if you don't finish. So finish it, because finish is everything.

Merry Christmas to you and Bronwen. Hope she is feeling tip top soon as possible.
You will both be in my prayers.

Alistair,Our prayers for Bronwen and you. May the Lord touch her with a healing touch and a quick recovery .
