Due to the lack of opportunity for the wood carving group to meet, he has been doing more projects on his wood lathe lately, and has been dedicating more time to this style of wood-working in his home shop.
“I’ve always enjoyed working with wood and making stuff,” he explained, noting he first bought a second-hand lathe some 40 years ago when he and wife Nancy lived in Swift Current, but it wasn’t a very good quality lathe.
About a decade ago, a friend in Weyburn, Stan Sampson, asked if he wanted to buy his lathe, and it was a much better quality piece of equipment.
