My wife, Maggie, and I spent Monday in Venice, Italy. We had two goals: one to see the sights, the second to spend all of our money. We only saw some of the sights, but were successful in the second goal. Fortunately we walked so much that I only gained a few pounds from the wonderful food we consumed. Venice is a treasure, and we felt very lucky to get to see some of it.
Tuesday we traveled by train down the coast to Pesaro, Italy, the home of CMT. CMT is the maker of high quality router bits, boring bits and saw blades. Lucia Spallacci greeted us at the train station and brought us up to a wonderful hotel, the Villa Cattani Stuart, which was built in the 1600s. It is truly a stunning piece of history, with woodwork to make any woodworker stop and take notice.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, I will spend some more time with the good folks at CMT. I have already learned a good deal about their manufacturing – more on that tomorrow.

Hi, enjoyed your trip with you. I lived in Germany 39 years mostly in the US Air Force. I helped run the Wood Hobby Shop at Ramstein AB in south west Germany. We had one of those multi-use machines and let me tell you it was horrible if you set it up for one mode of operation it was great but when you tried to use another component it took for ever to align thing to work. We found it much easier to leave one mode and have second and third machines to do the other jobs.Secondly you took a picture of a wood work picture on a wall, I have a good German friend who is a master wood worker and he has made one (took 10 yrs) he's working on a second now for about 6 yrs in his spare time what are these pictures called and is there a class here in the states for it?
Love your Journal.
Ron
