Hi Back, Chico!

Where have you been hiding? Last time I recall you were working for Lee Valley.

I do remember some very interesting designs of yours.

Regards from Perth

Hi Derek,

No, no, I never worked for Lee Valley other than doing some joinery seminars/courses. I have been busy with divorce, selling house, marrying a new lady, buying a new house, moving and building a new shop etc... basically very busy with life and work, just got better and level now. Still doing cabinets/furniture/doors etc...

Yes indeed, Welcome Back! I, too, miss those BBQ's at Sophie's.

Welcome back Chico! Along with the rest, I think it's been too long.

I miss the Salmon BBQ, Oysters, and the Sophie's gatherings too.

I hope you still produce the excellent design and craftsmanship we are used to seeing.

Be safe and don't be a stranger.

Lynn Baker, still in Glacier

Thank You ALL

I sure have missed all things were mentioned by my friends here as well. Thank you very much and yes, I will be around.

Great to hear from you Chico

Howard in Toronto

Congratulations on the courage to make all the changes you saw you needed to make in your life. Better to take some types of risk than live with inertia. Howard

No kidding... Thanks Howard.

Sounds similar to what I went through 10 years ago. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to the "new shop" part. All the gear is there, just not the space and power.
