Thread: Sayonara

I understand why you need to leave the fun Ern!! A great pity as you have been a source
of much knowledge and some mirth too!!

All the best with whatever you take on to keep you occupied!!

Thanks Arthur. It's been rewarding in all sorts of ways.

I've sunk to rehabbing old axes as you know. There's plenty of debate about edge geometry in that game too

Sad to hear, I have always enjoyed reading your posts and feedback.
best of luck for the future

Sad to hear that you are saying goodbye to turning.

Will be nice for you to know that your vicmarc is going to a very good home and will bring much enjoyment and pleasure to me for many years to come. So thank you.

Would be fantastic to have your input on the forum still if you choose to.

The more experience and knowledge we have going around the forum the better.

Cheers
Dirk.

Congratulations on your new baby Dirk. When I sent you the link I did not think you would decide so quick

Congrats on the purchase Dirk. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I've had four models of lathe and the VL175 was far and away the best. Good machining, ergos, controls and power.

So I've started putting some gear up in the Marketplace. Most of the tools and accessories will be there later in the year.

This is goodbye and best wishes to you all.

It comes to all of us at some time and I for one will be sad to see you go. I wish you well for the future and happiness to what ever you set your mind and hands too. So long my friend

Thanks hughie, appreciate it.

Doing a lot of outback and bush 4WDing and camping now. And reprofiling the bits of old axes

Are yes I remember one of your previous trips and no doubt some photography. Well you a have a lot of country to cover, enjoy

So sad to here Ern. I assume will will still see you in and about though

Thanks Neil.

You're all welcome to drop in on our Axe Talk here .......Axe talk

Gees Ern!!! I have noticed that you have been quiet for sometime so now we know. Its a sad day!! I have always respected your comments and guidance over my time on the Forum.
I hope you will drop in if only to say G'Day.

I am dismayed to see my hands looking worse than my father's with the slow but steady progress of arthritis. Its starting in some joints of my right hand and slowly spreading. I don't want to (at the moment) even think of changing what I do in my shed but the day will come

Enjoy what ever you get up to

Sorry to hear that Ern and many thanks for the help and friendship that you gave me. Hope to still see your input and guidance on the forum when you can.

Good luck in your new adventures.

Peter.
