long road trip

well left sunday at 430 got back last night at 11pm
started here in PA went to atlanta to see the aquarium on monday had dinner with an old USMC buddy and his brother (brother is gettign into knife making )
tues morning went to huntville AL picked up the biggest wood lathe i have ever seen and some tooling and hung out with my aunt (i think i get part of my crazy artist genes from her as she is a published quilter adn fabric dyer and wood carver)
woke up wed morn had breakfast and got on the road
glad its done and i hope to have some pictures soon as i at least get the lath back up on its feet

ooo massive thanks to my wife who did the bulk of the driving and also to the kids (yep they were along) stuffed into the back of a 4 door truck for over 30 hours of driving in 3 days could not have asked for them to have been better about it

 

I love road trips!

30 hours though.....that might make me question my love

 

Wow, nice. 30 hours does not sound all that bad....30 hours with kids....misery.

Looking forward to seeing what comes from the lathe.

 

its a beast

 

Looks like lots of fun will be had with that

 

Love old Powermatics. Solid machines.

I sense the need for a trip to Hearne Hardwoods.

 

doug for what curly koa serving platers

 

Ooooh, please put me in for one of those, Butch!

 

dave let me work on the steak plates in about 12 inch size first then i ca work up to the 22-24 inch platters (oo and wish me luck o finding boards that size ) might have to do composit builds for that

 

Nice, Butch!!!
