Good morning everyone, how cool to see all the bday wishes thanks so much! Gives me a really big grin to read them all, means alot! Had a quiet bday evening, got a really expensive sixer for my part of the country, had a small dinner and went to bed bout 7:30. My boys wanted to wait and do something with me the next day since I was getting them for a while. My girl and I had done ribs earlier in the week. I woke up the next morning, something just didnt feel right, I didnt think much about it just kept on keeping on bout 6am my sis texts me saying my grandmother in Scotland had passed, that was it. She had a great long life, she played bridge every morning her friend went by to pick her up, she didnt answer the door, she went in and found her in the bed. She went in her sleep as I would want for myself. Has been a few years since I saw her last. I remember alot about her, the pea soup she would make and oh the rice and raisins and when I was over there last saying how I thought it was better in America cause we have big roads, big cars, big trucks, she said "big isnt always better" lol she was a great woman and will be missed. My mom is on her way and should be there today for the funeral. Gotta take my oldest to work in a little while, I gotta get my butt out to the shop get some turning in before we leave. My girl and her son are coming up later for the afternoon/evening, will be a great day had!
As you all have seen above the Amboyna I am turning, the one in the lathe is a surprise for his wife. He wanted me to add turquoise. I have to make the stem/WPA to match but thats no sweat.
I did the inlay and was trying to line it out to add this or that looking here and there and in the end I just couldnt do anything else to it but add a few burn bands. The wood itself is so freaking beautiful, the inlay adds the POP, figured enough said. Sleek & subtle is sexy!
This piece below has a little live edge burling at the top rim. It had a bit more at the top but that got bored out and away. Still though what a piece
I cant wait to turn the other pieces I have in this species!
@phattpiggie Lol, at least your honest bro! I think the bdays I can remember are fewer than the ones I cant, would you say thats a good thing or bad hmmm?

@stickstones Thanks, hope you made it back safe, saw the pics, wow the glass guys are amazing, true artists!
@DrHermman Thanks for stopping by and keeping an eye out, you know I love to share and thank you all for being part of it! I have shipped to the EU but it was for beta testing, not offering retail there just yet. I havent attained my CE just yet but am working on it. I just got some new PS in from China yesterday matter of fact that I have to test. I found this company that offers the rotary dimmer and PS and both have their own CE for each component which will make the process of getting the CE for the WS easier. Now I just have to get another batch of heaters made and request the CE upfront from the manufacturer. I cant go back to them afterwards and obtain it. Yeah I know sounds crazy but thats how they do. I hope you all dont think I have forgotten or given up in getting it, I havent its just it takes time and money, something I dont have a whole lot of either right now or for some time. Ill have it by the time you are ready for sure. Hang in there with me, I am not going anywhere and thanks again for stopping by!
@CarolKing Lol that looks fun! I am glad the trip went well and the WS went on the road, woot woot love it!
@virtualpurple Bro it was a good one I woke up that morning and the one after, I am working on my weight again, since Feb I have lost 30lbs. thats right I am going to get ripped rrr! Lol, trying to get right bro, got alot of years I wanna spend with my fiance as my wife. She is such a true blessing, her soft sweet voice and honestly true being is such an inspiration. She just called me a few ago, am smiling now thinking of her she just wanted to say good morning and she loved me. She said she was sleepy and would see me later. Gosh she sounds like an angel, I cant wait to wake up next to her everyday for the rest of my life!
@Aezhenn Thank you and I hope all is well over your way, I know its summer time for the girls and hope you all enjoy the times together not having to worry about getting to school. Take care my friend!
