How ya feeling Charles? Are you back to turning yet?

Good to hear you're back, Charles. 

Thanks guys

 

No John, I am going to take some time and recuperate, I lost a lot of strength and weight again, so it is going to take time to get that back and get to feeling good again. I hope to be turning again within a month or two.

 

Again thanks for the warm welcome back, it's good to at least be home again .

Very nice of ya Dan, Charles has been through hell and back. Foot amputations, digestive problems, in and out of care and hospitals, and through it all, he still manages to crank some wonderful pens, bottle stoppers, small bowls, and other artistic items from his min lathe, and all this is done in his one bedroom apartment, did I say apartment? Yep! He cranks that sucker up in his living room! Now that my friends, is a woodworker!
