My brothers Utube

Inspiring!

yeah... and the scary part is that the piece he did that slide show on was one of his EARLY ones...

thanks for watching..

I really like the high level of workmanship he shows. There is no place to hide when you do a segmented piece. You can touch up a little with a sander, but not much without the lines on your profiles going away from you.

Very nice!

I don't have the patience myself to do that type of thing. Maybe a decorative ring or something like that, but not an entire form.

Let your bro' know we're cheering for him in whipping his illness, OK?

And you know.... another video might be a good, too!

;^)

Robert

He's always been anal..lol He spends weeks building jigs and sleds to cut the pieces. then he builds sleds to run the rings or whatever through the planer, too.. Not enough turning involved to be worth the other work, IMO..

Thanks.. his 3rd round of chemo in the last 5 or 6 years.. seems to bounce back pretty good in between, though....

yeah, I think if he gets enough response he'll do more..

Probably not a video yet because he'd need to wait until he cab work in the shop, but he has tons of pictures of his work..

Great job ! Patience is a must I think. All the best to your brother also.

Hi Mac I watched the video a couple times and loved it. Try to leave a comment but not sure if it went through. Murray

Mac, let your brother know that that is some really amazing work. I've tried to do some of this and found I just don't have the patience to complete it something that wasn't even half as intricate as his work was. Truly amazing work. I've bookmarked his video for future reference in the event I ever feel like tackling segmented work again.

Good luck and health.

Go TOPPERS! JD

Thanks, Moray... I tried too, but I think you need to be logged on to Utube or something.. The hits definitely went up yesterday and I really appreciate everyone's help..

Mac, WebTv and Utube don't seem to gee-haw, but I do want to send my congratulations on 'Utwo' having such a close sibling relationship.Your love for your brother and very justified pride in his woodturning work and of course, for his stature as a man comes thru in your post. You honor the ng by sharing this with us. Sort of explains why your posts to rcw are always welcomed.

Warm regards and happy Easter, Arch

Thank you, Arch.. very nice of you..

He's my oldest brother, we're 9 years apart, so we didn't have much in common until I was in my late 20's... Wood and cars have been our common interest..

here's a link to one of his Snapfish albums, that should work on webtv, right?

Very nice, I too don't have that kind of patience. Nice music too.......Ralph

Thanks, Ralph...

I had some good news the other day... I sent him an email congratulating him on his hits and asked when he would do another one.. He really surprised me when he said "Not for a while, I'm feeling better now that they're doing the chemo and spending some time in the shop again"..

Big surprise because most of the folks that I've known that had chemo felt really bad during it, and felt better gradually months after the treatments..
