Derek,

Thank you very much for your kind compliments.
I have always admired your work, and I saw that you pushed hard for perfection in your pieces.
It has always been something I've strived hard for in my own work. I've smashed countless pieces and chucked many a log
in the firewood pile because I wasn't happy with it. But the next time I picked up a tool, I had figured out a new and better way of doing something.

Glad I could inspire, and thanks for inspiring me all these years. Mahalo!

Chris,

Thank you, and I am really looking forward to the event in a few weeks!
Looks like a great lineup and good time for all!
