Went to SWAT

Jimmy Edwards

Been going every year since 2007, Bigger and better every year.. Buddy Compton and Ernie Showalter are members of of my club. Buddy was president of SWAT this year, and Ernie has been around since just about the begining. He has always made Indian flutes. Coming away from SWAT every year, I've felt honored and blessed to meet so many world class turners who are just regular people.

In the ten years I've been going, I've gained a lot of knowledge and seen an explosion of great new products and technology. It is only going to get better. Buddy said over 1100 were there so I guess fellas like Lyle have seen it all since the Texas Turn or Two days.

Yes, many of us were laughing about the old days when it started in tents in the rain, with wiring running through the mud.
