Default General Sold and Staying!

The General is staying in my shop; soon to be ex-shop. The young couple
that bought the farm came yesterday with his father, the father is a flat
woodworker (he lives 6 houses from me), was in the shop with me while the
kids were with house inspector, holding a bowl, he asked "how do you do
this?" I got a bowl blank, put it on the General, put a gouge in his hand,
gave him a few pointers and you know the rest of the story! I ended up
giving him a quick lesson, he took the bowl form (still not even totally
rounded!) to show friends, asked if he could come back for another lesson
and bought the General.

I have a feeling I may make several visits to my shop in the future. Boy,
am I ever going to miss that shop in my barn. For those of you who have
never seen pics of my shop they are on my website (I have to brag a little
because I had the shop framed, windows installed and the ceiling put up, the
rest I did totally alone; insulation, walls, floor, etc.)

Thanks for all the inquiries regarding the General.
