Thread: Where is KenW

Forget about the Weird and Wonderful for a while. He's busy, all of November and then some ...... He has some high maintenance friends as well.

WWW made a stiff rod for his own back after the 2009 Exhibition.

What will come after the Carriage? Plus the Stringrays and the platter?

All the best, Ken W. Something special please this time.

The bar is now high, so you've got some work to do.... We are all looking forward to seeing something better than what you did this year..... ..... Now that will be something. You poor bugger.

And worse, poor Helen. She has to put up with him while he "cogitates" on his entries for 2010.

All the best, Ken. The clock is ticking.

I envisage you'll be at the drawing board late into the night - and the lathe - for some time. But please, make it special.

Post script: Wish Bev Wood a happy 70th birthday today. Bev is one of the few that keeps Ken in check - but remember, it comes back tenfold. Ummm....

I should say no more.

Found him

I went to our Northern Woodturners Club this morning to hear
the bad news re Ken.

In tending to some storm/rain damage on Saturday night he
slipped and fell from a roof at his property.

Result: Four damaged verterbrae and ended up in Royal
Melbourne Hospital. Apparently he was able to sit up this
morning but wearing a brace.

Our thoughts are with you Ken ... get well soon and hope there
is no long-lasting damage.

Will endeavour to keep everyone informed via this thread.

Allan

Ken, wishing you a speedy recovery.

Clumsy bugga! Hope you heal quick Ken - you've got better things to do than lounge around in bloody hospital

Get well Ken - now as woodies we may be able to help him here.

Who would he trust to turn him up some crutches - maybe Jefferson could do some finial style ones. - what about the escholon chuck jeff?

could do a 3 legged stool (he's used to doing them the same) to sit at the lathe on. - dont wait for Robbbo to do the pen for him to write on all the thankyou cards - wont happen that one

There's a job for Allan he likes pens - me - well i'll just take the credit for the good ideas

Seriously Ken get well soon we need you around this place.

Cheers

Ken get well soon look out for Allen's hospital jokes he'll have you in stiches.

Good news.

The doctors and nurses are all sick of him so they are sending him home today.

Holly crap, I thought I was the only clumsy clot .

Hope all mends well for you mate,.

Cheers

Maybe they're chucking him out cos of all the shavings he was piling up on the floor around the bed.

Hope you have a speedy and full recovery and get well soon.

get better soon
and remember you're a woodturner not a bloomin roofing contractor - but then I think I understand ...

Thanks everybody for all the get well messages.
As said, they threw me out of the hospital on Thursday.
I can only sit at the computer for short periods of time, so responses from me will be slow.
It will be some weeks before I can turn again, so the wife says, we will see.

Good to have you back, Ken.

2 weeks????

Hi Ken,

to return the quote "you are not 20 anymore you silly bugger"
regards,
crocy.
PS does that mean you wont want a load of Red Lancewood AKA Eastern Dead Finish?

I only have a broken back, I'm not dead.
Of course I will need more Red Lancewood.
