I always wondered why someone would put up a home page. After all, it does seem a bit presumptuous (egotistical, maybe?) to think anyone would want to read about me, where I work and the hobbies with which I occupy my time. But when I thought about it, the ability to seek out others with similar interests and swap e-mail has been one of the most enjoyable uses I have found for the Internet. So, here I am, and I'd be delighted to hear from you if you wish to comment or correspond. I've answered literally hundreds of questions since I put this page up - I always answer my e-mail.

Someone told me, after I first put this page up, to include some personal stuff. So many have said, "I went to your music page expecting to hear you singing some of your songs. Where are they?" I added (December of 2005) a few of my songs under the "Lifetime of Singing" link if you would like to hear some.

Unless you are keen to see some personal pictures of me, Karen, grandkids, my baby (a '71 Olds Cutlass Supreme convertible), Kira the pooch and a few shots of the house, yard, etc., stay away from that "Who Am I" link. I've been told the history is interesting and if you're curious you're welcome to browse it. Certainly, I hope that family and friends will take the time to look.

You might appreciate all the woodworking, woodturnings, music, singing, karaoke, etc. I've also got a page of tips (more correctly - things I've learned the hard way) for woodturners.

I would also like to tell you about WoW - the World of Woodturners web page. I started up the free site in November of 2001. More than 10,000 members have joined in at some time or another , and as of the end of 2010 we have about 2000 regular contributing members. The site is at www.thewows.com, and if you go there you will see a sample from Clay Foster, of the kind of work you will find within the site. Any member can have a permanent photo album on the site, and as members post their work others comment, congratulate, and make suggestions on the piece. There are hundreds of tips and tricks, and more than 50,000 photos in the albums of woodturners, beginners to professionals, from around the world. You need a fast connection and lots of time if you want to see it all, but you are welcome to join. You do not have to be a woodturner. Even if you are only a browser you are welcome. Email me for a username and password.

Most of all please let me know you were here. All of your comments are welcomed.

Oh - this site is developed using a 22" screen and will mostly fit on a 17" without a problem except for some minor scrolling. If you are using a smaller screen like a 15", try setting the resolution of your screen to 800 by 600. (Control Panel, Display, Settings)
