Congratulations on your retirement Al.
I would be proud to own a Keppler Shohin box stand one day in the not-too distant future.

Yeah、I'm saving up some cash starting now.

Congratulations on your retirement, you're a real STAND up guy. I seem to remember you had a few "retirement" trees in the pipeline - was one you shared a pine? Care to show?

 

[Cadillactaste]

You've earned it! Congrats!!! Glad you have something to enjoy as well with that talent,it's great to see it put to work again...

 

[JudyB]

So happy for you! I'm hoping to do the same but will still be a few years... I can't wait to get my hands on a Keppler special!

 

[GGB]

Congrats on retirement. Didn't realize it had been so long since you made any new stands, top notch stuff. Lucky to have two hobbies in retirement, especially two that are related.

I have a story about this one.

Been retired since 2010 and I highly recommend it. I really like your stands, especially the ladder style. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them when you start posting for sale items.

I would be very happy to get my hands on a couple of quality shohin stands. I know you will stay busy. Exciting stuff!!! Looking forward to seeing them for sure.

 

[barrosinc]

Cool retirement!!! I want to do that!!

Awesome stands. I would love one but probably couldn't afford one right now. I wish you the best.

I dont expect to ever be able to retire....I'll definitely die at work.....sad truth.

Those are some mighty fine stands....and trees too!
