Thank you John C. Lucas

I just wanted to give a big thank you to John C Lucas for one of his videos I watched not too long ago. With a lot of encouragement from John K. Jordan I have been practicing my skills with the skew and feel like I'm getting better each time I use it. I always thought I had it sharp enough but then one day I watched a video that John C Lucas made where he demonstrates using the Eze-Lap diamond hone sticks to put a razor edge on his skews. So I bought a set of these hones and wholly cow!! I thought I had a sharp skew before using these but how wrong I was. I used the hone sticks as John demonstrated and my skew is now wicked sharp. I have a bald spot on my arm where I had to see if it would shave some hair (it does). I used the hone sticks on my parting tool and even to touch up a few other tools. It was one of the best videos I've seen in a long time, and this one didn't cost me an arm and a leg. So John, thank you very much!

Im still at the hospital with my stepson and im not very good at doing things on my phone. We get to go home tomorrow but then have to come back in 2 weeks for 6 weeks of radiation and chemo treatments. May have to check with my friends in Chattanooga to see if i can get a turning fix every few days.
