He sometimes (rarely) posts on various Facebook turning groups.

He is somewhat personally active on FB, but I'm uncertain if he does any wood turning.

I was just wondering the same thing the other day.

Bill is quite active on Facebook. I exchange with him nearly every day.

He does periodically turn and posts the images to his Facebook page.

You wouldn't recognize Bill today. He has lost a ton of weight. I don't know exactly how much but he is half the size he used to be and looks great! I believe he said he was wearing pants now with a 36 waist.

He is the same old Bill with a great sense of humor and quick with a pun.

Glad to hear

I never met Bill but I always enjoyed his posts and tips and I have one of his very informative DVDs.

....36" waist! I sponsored him for a class at the Folk School many years ago, and I had to help him make a trip to the Murphy BBQ restaurant by Wednesday, said he couldn't survive any longer on the "rabbit food" salads that are part of the fare at the Folk School. :D

I am alive and well. I did not know I had been sponsored. I remember being solicited by the staff there to teach a class with you as my assistant.

I am lots thinner and lots healthier. I am officially retired, but still taking in work from time to time. And yeah, I’m wearing size 36 jeans these days. I’ve given up the forums and stick to social media. I can post what I want without a bunch of leftists getting butthurt over my opinions and being selectively censored (and censured) in the process.

Glad you are doing well. Wayne and I wondered if you are still living at 5 Barns. We still fondly remember our visit there and the great time we had with our fellow turners.
