Congratulations on Ashley’s great achievement. Nothing makes a parent happier than the success of their
children, and you have a very good reason to be a proud Dad.
I agree with your reasons for segmented turning, and while I may never reach your level of ability, I have
fun playing in my workshop, and it does keep me out of trouble and off the street corners. Thank you for
sharing.
