<DIV>Hi Bill,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You are in my prayers. We need carvers like you who are very talented and
carve with a message. The economy has hit everyone hard. I think I retired at
the right time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That carving table sounds exciting. I can't wait to see the pictures.</DIV>

<P></P>Gentle Carvers:
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My resolution is rather short term.... I want to finish building my new
tilting/rotating carving bench, and then I have to find a real job.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I started the carving bench as a Christmas shop project, and designed it
myself from the ground up. My aim was to build a table that others could
replicate, without and exotic hardware or tools. </DIV>
<DIV>It's almost done. Pictures to follow. Might even publish the plans.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>About the new job... I have not had any commissions since June 2008...
and have been relying solely on carving class income since September. I'm not
ready to retire. This means I need a part time job to pay the bills,
unless some fresh commissions reach me before then. I've
been carving full time since 1982, and this is the year that it
might come to an end.</DIV>
