WOW. Some nice work there sir. Almost makes me want to get my lathe out of storage and set it up. Too bad I don't have room for it. Keep up the good work. I always enjoy seeing your handy work. True craftsmanship.

| I never got much past chain saw wood workmanship but you do some pretty interesting pieces. Curious as to how you make all those pieces for the checkerboard items stick together? Is it just glue or dowels or what? I envy your talent. |

Wife showed me a picture of a salt keeper at Walmart that swiveled like that. Not exactly sure why its supposed to swivel, but that is why I did it! At least its a stainless screw so the salt does not rot it away! LOL ------------- Greg Kroeker 1950 WD with wide front and Freeman trip loader |

Looking good. Tom Callahn has some craft shows in Council Bluffs at the Mid America Center. If you are interested in selling your product, he puts on a good show. There is one comming up in March. You may want to attend and check it out. There are several other people selling products similar to yours. |
