GG's,

 

Well this has to be the longest time between posts in Galoot history.  I
think it has been six years since my last post..  Hey ya get busy.

 

I have to say, one of the best parts of being in this group was when I made
lots of Galoot visits way back in the past.  I hosted the first Toronto area
Galootpalooza way back in the 90's.  It was fantastic!!  I also visited
Seattle and was privileged to meet Steve Lamantia, and a couple of other
Galoots.   It's been awhile so just who all was there has faded a bit.  I
think Michael and Ken if my old brain still works.  It was a great day and
we had a good time.

 

Folks here are a nice bunch.  It has been too long since I lurked and
occasionally posted.  Hopefully I will get more into the spirit again.  I
live on the Canadian Prairies now where there are few wood workers compared
to the big centres and fewer tools to gloat over.  But I suggest, folks make
arrangements and meet up.  It is an amazing thing to be among other like
minded folks that pursue such a simple thing as working wood.

 

That being said, is anyone going to Handworks in Amana this year.  I plan to
make the 14 hour drive and expect it to be a great time.

 

Regards,
