michael mott Posted October 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2014 last evening I was thinking about giving my friend Al a watercolour painting for all his help with launching Maria a month ago. The universe works in mysterious ways and demonstrates abundance when one is open to it. This morning my friend Al showed up with the following items and said do you want these. He was clearing up the floor of his shop to make room for the boats he will be working on over the winter. he is not a wood worker and was given these by his brother in law a few years back and never used them. It was such and easy answer. I do feel blessed this morning. They will need a bit of cleaning but all work perfectly, the carbide router bits are virtually brand new. The lathe was set up as a sander so it will go back to being a wood lathe. I need to rethink the size of the watercolour now.

SJSoane Posted October 8, 2014 Share #4 Posted October 8, 2014 Michael, I didn't know you were a watercolor painter. Your exceptional talents run deep, and I would see the unexpected gift as a reflection of good karma!

michael mott Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted October 8, 2014 I talked with my youngest son in Calgary today because it is his birthday and during our conversation he was telling me about how he was thinking yesterday about how nice it would be to have a wood lathe, Well it was a no brainer for me to tell him "Happy birthday that I just happened to have a wood lathe that I would be cleaning up and taking it down for him" Life does work in mysterious ways.
