BuckeyeDennis,
Thanks for the link. I couldn't find that on the site. I will save it and hope not to have to use it again.

Thanks,
Stew

Steve,
I am close to Mesa Drive & Brown... by the canal. I looked up the local turning group in Tempe. Have you gone to any of their meetings? Where do you get your wood for turning? and other projects?

Thanks,
Stew

Chuck,
I appreciate the info. Those are some pretty good sites with local location. Kind of nice to find things that are close.
