Terry and me that is, he arrived at mine around 1pm he is on his way home just now 11.30 pm .. We went off to see Yorkie at Birstall Woodturning club strutting his stuff, he sure can make them blanks shine.. :thumbs: He brought over some great looking pen blanks that us Brits would die for which he kindly handed out. Anyone local to this place i would highly recommend them to join, some very friendly people run and attend this establishment. :ciggrin:

Terry, we will all be expecting a concise, complete report about Jim's place shortly. Did he spring-clean for you? We're you treated with the proper decorum and respect? Was the tea served at the right temperature, and in bone china? Did you get the most comfortable seat at the lathe?
