[Woodcarver] Joe's back (chat)

[Bob Mau]

Ivan;
Actually the thanks are from me to you. My brain hasn't stopped thinking 
about the class since I got back
The experience of meeting the other carvers, looking at nathon's 
furniture and taking in the sites of Fariboult were truly a pleasure.
Unfortunatly I had to go back to work yesterday. I am currently 
torturing my co workers with the nail puzzel so far no one has gotten it 
right.  thanks again for a great week.
