Default Has anyone heard from Marcel

I haven't seen him on for some time. His last post was over a month ago.
I just wondered if anyone had heard from him.

I do get regular emails from him and have spoken to him but not in a few weeks for sure. Getting on the phone right now and will report back.

I have seen him on some sites showing pictures of some beautiful turnings he is cranking out on his wood lathe.
He sure caught on to tuning fast and found out as many others have that just like scrollsawing , turning can become an addiction real quick.
Nice to have variety in one's hobbys.

Also, Marcel will be on vacation next week and I will drive down to visit him. I will be able to see some of his turning items.

Wow ,

Didn't think I'd be missed. Thanks for asking Carl.

I am doing well, the wife and I are still losing weight (me slower)
and yes, I have gone to the darkside. I have been making pens and just love it. To create a fine writing instrument that is used, at this time, is giving me more pleasure than creating artistic scrollsawings... Sorry.

If you want to see what I'm up to visit this link (and comments are welcome) and click on the pictures to see a bigger version
http://penblanksandpenkits.ning.com/...eenName=marleb

I do drop in occasionnaly to see what's new, so keep up the nice work.

Regards,
Marcel

Marcel, the pens look great. I'm thinking of trying that out myself but so far I haven't found the time. The holiday cuttings are keeping me busy right now. Thanks for sharing your new adventure with us. David

Great looking projects Marcel. Glad to hear your doing fine. Just don't let that saw rust or gather to much dust!!!

Beautiful pens!!! I can see how making them could be very satisfying. Are you selling them?
