I want to take this opportunity to thank Andy Graves for his hospitality, his very warm welcome and his assistance that he extended to me on Wednesday October 29th, 2008. I was fortunate enough to be able to tour his shop and spend some quality time with both Andy and Valerie at Olive Mill.

They have a VERY impressive showroom and operation. I needed some Intregra Adhesives for a video project that I was working on for a client, and Andy was there to help.

I am very blessed to have a friends like Andy & Valerie.

Thanks again Andy – You are a true friend!!!

Hey Kevin,

Good to see you again.  You are always welcome at Olive Mill.  Meeting you and everyone here is the best part of the FabBet.

Let me know how the film shot goes.  I would love to see the final video when you have it completed.

Take Care,

Andy

Kevin… before you say too much about Andy…. were you aware he drives a minivan but wants a pink Mini-Cooper?

[Kevin Padden]

No Problemo Kelsey!

THAT’s what makes this country the great place that it IS!!!
Anybody can drive ANYTHING they want and Andy should get
to drive what ever he wants to………
(or at least –  what ever Valerie LETS him drive…  )

Andy has wanted a Mini Cooper since he was about 13.
He is just too cheap to buy one. I am convinced the money in his wallet is moldy.

[Norm Walters]

Linda, Hmmm, I wonder where he gets that from

[Linda Graves]

Norm,
Not Me.

[Bill Wolle]

Linda,

Did you get your round table yet?

[Linda Graves]

Bill,

Not yet.  We are still eating on the plywood sub-top. 
Actually we are absolutely buried in work, so I can’t complain (but I do).
Andy is probably putting it off until Christmas and then saying that is my present.

Linda,

I have actually used the “Christmas Present” gambit myself on several occasions and it worked. As long as my wife does not read these posts.

And congrats to Olive Mill for being busy!

Bill is causing problems.  I think I am going to have the last ITEC project be a 48″ round table.  No telling what it will look like but at least it will be done.

[Bill Wolle]

Touche Andy!   Unfortunately the ITEC shop is already almost empty. I would make the table for you but I only have a belt sander left.

Bill

[Tom M]

You can do a lot of things with a belt sander.

Bill, do you remember the original fabrication manual (Fred was in most of the fabber pix), where the tools included belt sanders and saber saws?

Good times, man, good times.

[Bill Wolle]

Tom, not only do I remember it, I HAVE a copy!
