A new reknown turner and WC'er

>Folks, I bought a segmented vessel from Mark Kauder at the Southern Symposium last week and sat it on the table in my showroom. Yesterday I had a collector couple drop by that buy my bowls on a regular basis (and they only buy the items from my "top shelf"; they were very impressed with Mark's vessel and would have bought it if I had put a price on it. They could not believe it when I told them that Mark turned it on a $200 mini-lathe. You are there Mark....order the big lathe!

>Well, TD, once again I am blushing. Thanks for the compliment.

If I did not think it would take away from YOUR business, I would say that maybe I should make them, and let you sell them on consignment.

I am not much into the marketing.

Thanks again - this means alot to me, coming from you.

Terry's just trying to sell you a lathe. Don't get a big head. Just think how much longer it takes to polish a really big turning. Keep up the good work however because we want to see it.

Is it time for stave work yet?

>NO - you know the old saying - don't mess with success.

Actually, I am going to try stave work, but not until after the next few busy months (daughter's HS graduation and heading of to College, AAW conventions, etc).

Tks,

Mark

>With his kid going to college that is the only way he will be able to afford a big lathe. One year will cost Mark what 2 big lathes cost, times 4 and he could get a whole work shop.

Congrats Mark!!

>Boy a VB-36 for 6 of my bowls - that's really generous!!! I know you mean a VB-36, 'cus everytime someone asks about a "Big Lathe" you recommend a VB-36. ;>)

Let's talk off line.

>Naw, you need a tailstock for your vessels' I was thinking a 1642 would do.

Try to email me, some are getting thru, some are not.
