I waited, and waited, and waited . Finally got the call yesterday. "Schedule delivery?" I don't think so. I went and picked it up up from the shipping company today after work. :biggrin:

Wow looks great! Good thing you won on the football pool!:biggrin: It will be hard to leave that thing alone!

DANG, I feel bad now for letting mine sit idle for all this time. After my surgery I am going to need to get out and stretch a little. Maybe I can come watch over your shoulder as you get that thing dirty.

Hey Mike,

No matter how good one turns out, I always have this nagging feeling that it could be better. I hope I never lose that feeling!

You know that Superbowl Pool that you won? We forgot to tell you about the entry fee...that lathe should just about cover it! I'll pay the shipping
February sure seems to be your month! Congrats!
Cheers

Mike:
If you can't make a great pen with that lathe, it is definitely the fault of the indian doing the shooting and not the arrow. NIZE tool. Can't wait for the pen posts.
