Had an interview
#11
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.

Well Done, Arlin!

Great news Arlin, I am sure you will do it justice. Like Benny said, we would like to see the result.

Ken 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.
