Dave is either too modest or too busy to post this and as it happens I am too busy So I sent all the pictures to Barb and she kindly complied them into this page. Ask Dave If you have any questions, he'll be popping in to answer any you have.

Dazzling! Tell us the truth - did Lauren make that and you are taking the credit? [Wink] Is she still as interested in what you do?

Look at all those brilliant cutting wheels in the background, I'll get there someday to see them in action!

Another stunning piece Dave, you definitely are a master!

Oh my word... It's been eight years since I said "Burn him, he's a witch!" at Stockport. Did anyone listen? No! And now look what he's done! [Eek!] [Wink]

Seriously, if ever anyone was channeling something supernatural into his work, David, it would be you. But I know better. David just works endlessly at getting better and expanding his skills, leaving the rest of us poor hacks in the dust. I cannot think of anyone whose work consistently exceeds what he's done before.

Stunning. [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause]

And besides all that...he is just a really nice guy, although he talks kinda funny - even worse than me.

David visited in our studio a number of years ago and we introduced him to Mexican food (Texas style). He is still alive so I guess it wasn't too bad.
