>It's been awhile but I'm back at it. I'll be going to breakfast in the morning with 15 - 20 of you fine people in the morning before I go to the KC wood show. not much on the shopping list but it will be fun hanging out. I hope to make it into the shop sunday I bought a chuck for the lathe and it arrived last night I started turning a potpouri dish and will finish blowing it up. I see some hair line cracks and I'm sure it will go as I turn the foot. but ha I got to give it a shot it some nice elm burl. I hit an estate sale this morning picked up a couple nice saws a brass hammer and a porcelin trinket box so I will be listing them on e-bay and taking the wife out for dinner all weekend long. Every One Have a SAFE & ROCKIN GOOD WEEKEND!!!

>So how was breakfast and the show?

I got some more work done on the cedar chest. I'm using it as my Adam's Chalenge project. Got the three pannels glued up and started on the dovetails. Sunday I took my grandfather out to his farm. We went along the creek and I saw what I think was a good size walnut burl on the other side! I'll have to go back when I'm alone so I can cross the creek and get to that tree. Pa said I made his day, so it was worth missing the show!
