My dad Allan Batty died today peacefully in his sleep. He is incredibly well loved and respected in the woodturning community.
It's hard for me to put it into words my gratitude for the knowledge my dad taught me when I was just a boy.
We have all missed his entertaining woodturning demonstration over the recent years. The last time we both demonstrated together was in Oregon all most 5 years ago. My dad has not demonstrated since due to illness.

Making sawdust mostly, sometimes I get something else, but that's more accident then design.
