The Answer

Is NO

Doubled-up on one content description....

Ed: It looks like Kevin Wallace, Arthur Mason, and David Ellsworth are responding to more than just a published critique.... they're also doing something else that doesn't seem correct....!! You might want to have a look at the AW site and see what's up. Rob Wallace

I can't wait. I've been wanting to play with a rose engine lathe. I have a small spindle lathe that I have thought could be converted. It's been sitting there for 2 or 3 years just waiting.

"Correct"

Ah, Rob, care to be more detailed in what you're talking about?

Look at the outline in the link Ed provided. Two topics have the same description. (appreciation of criticism and salt/pepper shakers). You have to read the topic of Rob's post to easily understand his message.

I saw the multiple listing re comments, Ed, but I read it as the three contributors being involved in two different articles; one on critiques in general and the other on S/P shakers. Without having the magazine in front of me I can't tell, hence my question about "incorrectness" was based on the assumption that Rob had more information about the issue of his post than I did.

Apparently I've missed something here, and will just have to wait to receive my magazine. Just serves to heighten my anticipation; I love a good mystery. 😀

Mark:

I've got no more additional information than you, but having the EXACT same description for two articles on such disparate topics seems to be more of an editorial error than wishful thinking that these three gentlemen are going to comment on the critique of a recent turning exhibit AND on salt and pepper shakers. At the least, it is bad editorial practice if this double description was actually intended, but I think it is a simple oversight. Somehow I don't think Wallace, Mason, and Ellsworth would be commenting collectively on salt and pepper shakers (....although I've been wrong before!).

Cheers,

Rob,

Ellsworth, I know, supported himself and his family doing production shakers "in the Early Years", and Mason is, of course, a major collector of anything turned. They could easily weigh in on several such issues, but I would expect it to be in a single article. What I was respondeding to was your phrase that they, meaning the three authors, were "doing something else that doesn't seem correct," [read improper, etc.] rather than an possible editorial flub by whoever ["they"= AAW?] wrote the website descriptions.

Ah, well. 'Long about next month we'll see whazahp. 😉

Peace

Contact the AAW office to get a replacement. The contact information (phone and e-mail) is on the table of contents page of every issue. They'll send you a new one.

The mystery is solved... Salt & Pepper Shakers: Bob Rosand revisits an original design by Rus Hurt for a set of salt and pepper shakers.

 

[Rob Wallace]

Thanks Ed!! The salt & pepper shaker description seemed a bit non sequitur to me.... Cheers,
