Well, today I got to meet in person with a Family Woodworking member, Kyle Murphy, from Tokyo, Japan. As he is here in Honolulu visiting his family, we had talked on the phone a few times and he checked with me about attending my club, the Honolulu Woodturners meeting this evening. He had a good time getting aquainted with some of the club members and seeing their work up close.
Kyle is a super guy and I enjoyed our meetup, after following his posts about his tools and his new shop. I'm looking forward to seeing him again, or maybe, going to Japan someday to see his place.
Aloha

Wow that is a nice post, and its a shame it doesn't get as much response as the one on bickering about what defines a family. This seems like what I expected to find here. Congratulations on your meetup..

Met a family member today
Yes, Kerry, We did have a picture taken, but I am having a little trouble getting it uploaded just yet. Please be patient.
Yeah, it is a long way here, but he came to visit his son and daughter who live here. We only had to drive about 10 miles each to meet and attend the meeting."You got to learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself". (Author unknown)

A paradise family visit.
If you don't take pride in your work, life get's pretty boring.
Rule of thumb is if you don’t know what tool to buy next, then you probably don’t need it yet.

Family visits. It doesn't get much better than that. Each family member I have personally met, feels like meeting an old friend after a long absence. It just feels "right". Good for you two!!
God and family, the rest is icing on the cake.
I'm so far behind, I think I'm in first place.

What a great meet up. Probably one of the records for long distance meet ups for sure
