Very nice guys ….

Tony (Grumpy)-
The set is gorgeous, and Keith really (REALLY) loves it! The fact that you would do something like this just out of the kindness of your heart means SO much to the both of us. I was very excited to see the package arrive in the mail, and I texted Keith about it right away…lol!
Sometimes it seems that the world is so un-kind, but when you hit rock bottom and hit the toughest of times like we did over the past year…THAT’S when you see that there really are some kind & wonderful people out there! And you know what…it makes you appreciate all of the blessings that you DO have so much more!! So, THANK YOU very much for this random act of kindness : )

Keith, you & kolwdwrkrsgirl have really let the cat out of the bag.
How can I keep my reputation of ‘Grumpy’ when you say all those nice things. LOL
As you know it was a token of my appreciation for a supreme effort you both made recently & is only a small gift in return for your genorisity.
Thanks for all your kind words my fellow Jocks. This is indeed a great community.

Some people get,
Some really live,
Others only fret,

Your gift is more,
Than pencil & pen,
Your gift for sure, Is a very good friend.

Kolwdwrkr and Grumpy…...this is what true friendship is all about and why this site is so great. Congrats to both.

-- John @ Myrtle Beach

Grumpy, That was very kind of you. Those are great looking. You and Lazy Larry got to find a way to get me some of that Camphor over here. I told Larry the other day that I have been working with Camphor veneer and I just love that stuff and the smell of camphor is awesome. He said that a lot of it gets bulldozed and burned. That is really hard to believe. Great friendship you and Keith have there.

Jerry, Camphor Laurel is popular down under for wood turning & is plenitiful in large slabs. It has a strong ecalyptus smell when it is worked. Really clears the sinuses.

HEY Grumpman ! you are the best !

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Grumpy, I’m going to look and see if I can find anything other than veneer here in the states. Would just love to get my hands on some.

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

Good luck Jerry. I hope you find some.
