   At LONG last I am able to get back and get caught up. Long story involving re injuring my hand , screwing up the other one and getting put down by mold of all things.

   I am now able to gradually get back into carving. Doc says that if I tear up my hand again he si going to " Kick my Irish A**.

   At this point I have ready to go pipes for . Rigmedic, Pawpaw. A package for Scott, one for Martain and An unfinished pipe and stem for someone whose contact info has vanished.

   Should be back on daily again.
   Pics of finished stuff coming.

   Tickled to be back.

   If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.

   Good to have you back!

   I know what I need, smoke, I can't recall the last time I tasted it....Gandalf in the mines of Moria.
   
   "we shall have to share pipes, as good friends must at a pinch'....'I keep a treasure or two near my skin, as precious as rings to me. Here's one: my old wooden pipe. And here's another an unused one...He held up a small pipe with a wide flattened bowl, and handed it to Gimli. 'Does that settle the score between us', said Merry. 'Most noble hobbit, it leaves me deep in your debt."

    If, for some reason, you find yourself without the use of your hands I would recommend using Microsofts voice recognition software. That way you'll never miss a post! Glad to see you back and in better health.

    Good to see that picture posting again. i really missed seeing and hearing from you. Had to tell my son about your pork pie experience in Norway. Yup - He took
    his new bride to an Island off the coast of Norway above the circle and they fell in love with it and moved there. Oh to be young again.

    Well, the prodical Unc returns at last! You follow Doc's orders & behave, I have a friend sitting in a Swiss hospital right now because they took some bone from his hip to replace a screwed bone in his hand due to a careless mistake he made - he's in agony which is only alleviated slightly by the beauty of the young nurses.

    Now, where's all those stemless bowls of mine? I'd love you to make a few of your pretties when you're up to it and all caught up with your other stuff.

    Thanks for the warm welcome back. It all started when a large chunk of steel fell on my right hand, I then overused my left causing the arthritis to flare badly, Not listening to Doc I went back to using the right while cleaning out the basement shop. I then found I had a mold problem and a P.Oed Dr. LOL! Am back working very carefully.
    Here are the promised pictures.

    Just came across a post or 2 and am very happy to see you back Uncle Arthur. Sounds like you've had quite the time of it. You've been sorely missed as you can tell from all here that have welcomed you back.

    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are small and crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
