This sounds like fun Al - I wish I could be there....

...... from your description, it sounds like Tibbetts, Smith, and Theobald should be making an appearance there, if not at the TV station!! 😉

I'm happy for the publicity for woodturning....

Have a great day!

Rob

Rob,

we do have Jim Smith and Ted Smith.

NO segmented turning demonstrations in "Spring Trianing".
Segment does have not woodtunring meanings too.....

Malcolm and Curt were at the Florida Symposium.

Will your AAW demo talk about prison woodturning?? Cells ...

I won't be able to attend but I've been out in the backyard swinging the skew trying to get loosened up. Going to see if I can change my batting average this year. I'm also a free agent now so looking for a good team to pick me up. Don't have an agent so I'll go cheaper than some of the others. 🙂

Al,

I should be easy to find. Just ask for me at the turning booth.

Be glad to meet you.
Be sure to catch Jim Smith's demo at 2PM. He does some real sweet hollow forms.
