I really regret to inform Gerrit et al that Susan and I will be unable to attend the goings on in Yakima due to previous commitments. I was sooo looking forward to seeing the lathe in operation. I do not own one and don't know a single person in my community that does and there is nothing even remotely related to shaving brush turning on Youtube so to see it in person would have been most excellent. I sincerely hope someone will set up a camcorder and tape at least some lathe time...in fact and even better yet...I hope someone will tape the entire sequence of brush making with the ultimate goal of posting it to Youtube. Susan and I will be attending the Spokane meet later this year, but I seriously doubt that the restaurant owners would appreciate Gerrit setting up the lathe at our table so this is why I ask for someone to tape in Yakima. Thanks all, and have a great time in Yakima.
