"Yahoo", "plonk" - what planet are you on? Or are you just
Lilliputian?
Spamming? This would imply an offer to buy? Check facts first
perhaps?
Hmm ad-revenue. Wonder where that little gem came from! Ad-revenue
from a privately owned, run site - please tell me how to generate some
and perhaps I can stop running this at a loss.
UK collector, one of only 2-3 serious collections this side of the pond
- sharing collection with those interested and perhaps wasting my time.

We are well known by The Woodturning Centre and Albert LeCoff (you do
know where this is dont you), many US galleries, the AWGB (same
applies) and many other turners whose names WILL be known.
All in all a highly entertaining and instructive thread.

And twit - hmm books and covers Mr Patterson.
Another turner not to bother with when we visit the US.
