>Here's what I spent the day doing yesterday. I demonstrated for the Appalachian Center for Crafts cebration day. I've read that bodgers turned out about 144 legs in a week. I turned 3 (of course I ran my mouth a lot maybe that's the difference) I was worn out and sunburnt but had a ball.

You have to answer the question, I'll bet your legs get strong and is one leg stronger than the other, about a million times. One guy said I saw that guy on TV use one of those, I think his name was Roy Underwear. I had trouble not laughing in his face.

those are two of my early stools in the foreground.

>Hi John,

You better change leg ounce in a while because the running you will be able to do will have to be on an oval track!

Nice lathe, you see W.C. was ready to trade his 3520 for it...

Jean.
