Palm Control saves my vacation - Engraving Forum.com - The Internet's Largest and Fastest Growing Engraving Community

I was on vacation relaxing at my studio in the desert country of California, when suddenly I got an email from Steve "SR" Johnson asking if I would engrave the bolsters of a Edmund Davidson integral knife, Steve " SR" Johnson will be grinding the Blade.
Of course I am always happy to work on any SR Johnson project.
Being on vacation might have interfered with my work, but as you can see my work did not interfere with my vacation.
All I did was connect my Lindsay palm control to a 20 oz co2 bottle, and we were in business!

Hi Barry,
I love my PC, thanks for telling me to get one. True portability.
Glad to see you having a nice Vacation. You know you have to stop working so much and take a break once in a while

Lifes too short.

Isn't it kind of dangerous to get little slivers of metal into that water? You never know where they may end up.

Barry,

Those steel chips in the bottom of the hot tub must be nasty when they get stuck in the soles of your feet

Well, the little steel slivers, I guess I like to live dangerously.
I will be in Java in three days, I will send you a report from there.

So nice of you to take your Palm Control on a holiday. It deserves it for all the hard work you put it through

Paul Hamler can engrave laying in a hammock while Steve Lindsay fans and feeding him KK donuts and Jack Daniels before the engrave-in 09 at Paul's shop in GA...
Now we can take the PC to the hot tub or sauna...
Real cool Barry...

Why, oh why, am I not a bit surprised by this report, esp. the photo?
Thanks, so much for "working" it into your busy schedule, Barry! Have a great and safe trip.

Kevin Jones · #9 02-15-2010, 12:30 PM

Now that is the definition of a relaxed work enviroment.

Thanks Barry.

Nice design! Does the Palm Control work with scuba gear? Maybe you could get NASA to help you try it in zero G.

Hi Barry,
Crazy stuff as is expected of you....
With such an amazing-to-be knife that you are carrying
with you around the world - do watch out for hit teams
especially in Dubai hotels....

See you in Atlanta?

All the best,
David Darom (ddd)

Okay I can see the pics now. Is that Palm Springs? I use to live in Rancho Mirage a few years back.

I take it those glasses are like the ones I have - your prescription (if any) plus a magnifier? Mine are 4.5x.

I like using them for doing layout work. I can see great with them on, at least about to the ends of my arms.

I'm wondering if the Palm Control can save my vacation from Barry ....

Even on vacation there seems to be no escape unless I hurl my Blackberry into the ocean.
