Had an interview - Arlin Eastman - 10-22-2015
Ken Aucremanne contacted me about a month ago about an interview. He is interviewing vets and disabled vets so he can use the movie to help encourage other vets to get into woodworking.
He was in the Navy as a Arabic linguist and got out after 6 years. Some how he read about me and it inspired him to do this show for his Master's degree and to help vets.
He is from West Virginia and traveling around to interview a lot of disabled vets who do woodworking like me as a way to keep out of depression.
I asked him to give me a copy when he is done doing it. I had my wife with me to help me and let us know when I was worn out (I do not know when to stop and latter pay the price for over doing my brain.
I so hope it helps other vets from depression or suicide and find the joy of turning, carving, or other wood working.

That's
!You said maybe a movie? When it's done, let everyone know so we can watch it. I think you could post this in the Woodworking forum as well if you want.

I said movie because I do not know what to call it or remember. He will have it out for the public but do not know if it will be in theaters.
He told me he has over 100 hours of taping so far and another hour with me. He said he interviewed 21 other guys and a few of them I know.
He said he is going to help me with my GoFundMe so I can get a non profit and rent a building and get tools to fill it.
To me that would be a dream come true.
