Bill, your turning dvd is incomplete.

Joe Pack

>Bill, I received my autographed DVD yesterday and was able to watch about half of it today. It is great! the views are clear, as is the narration. I particularly appreciate that you speak in plain language instead of jargon. I thank you very much.

But....I think you left out a very important part. Just how does one go about developing and maintaining an appropriate turning muscle? I know I have one (you showed me where to find it a couple of years ago), but you don't give instructions on how to develop it.

Any hints or secrets you can share?

Come one Joe; that's easy.

>You just take a 10 lb. weight and hang it off the back of your bowl gouge. Voila, instant "turning muscle". :)

>I laughed my ass off when Bill offered the term of turning muscle. My wife knows how I developed mine. A fifty pound, non sand based solidity since our marriage. Bill rules, as far as I am concerned. I watched the entire DVD last night as I couldn't sleep. It was the best I have seen, bar none. And the humor is typically understated and subtle. Great job!

>Hi Joe

If I put everything in, there would be no material left for another DVD. Keep watching for the announcement of my new exercise tape. As soon as I can find the right leotard, I will be filming a feature length movie on developing all those muscles!

>I'm hoping my loving wife is getting your DVD for me for Christmas. If you'd like to email or call her for some direct marketing, let me know.

I hope that the second one never makes it to be stamped if it features you in a leotard. Not that there's anything wrong with that if that's what you're into. I just don't want to see it.

Congratulations Bill! It sounds like your DVD is really doing well. Good Job.

>TMI. That's too much information. Bill, my brother, I love you and all, but the thought of you in a leotard to going too far.

Thanks again for the great information and fun time as I watched the DVD. You've done the turning world a great service.

Turn 'em round,
