Yep...you're the only Jeff I know. Here's how you can lend me enough to buy that Powermatic lathe. First, borrow the money from your Visa or Mastercard, then lend it to me. Then I could just owe it to you. I certainly wouldn't want to beat you out of it.  :D :D :D :D

Charlie, I know a good Doctor. I really think he might be able to help you with this mental thing...

Thanks Rav. I didn't know Tom was going to put them on there. Must be some more payback for the time I woke him up with ice water. ;D  You'd think he'd forgive and forget after 40 years.::)  I didn't get out of the shop 'til 10:30 last night. Turned a 9" bowl from spalted birch. Really interesting and pretty wood patterns. Shops a mess though.   :o

Man, I envy you!

I went to a "ceramics party" last night with some of "the girls" from work.

Have you ever seen a shop like this? The sell you bisque ware (clay that has been through it's first firing) and then charge you and hourly fee to sit in their shop, use their paints and decorate it.

They all had a great time, copying other people's designs. I can't stand doing stuff like that, so I did my own design, but I am pretty sure it is going to turn out crappy. I was doing a design that needed to have hard, straight edges, and I'm afraid I didn't achieve them with the tools I had on hand.

Oh, well, it only cost $15.01 for a little cameraderie with my co-workers. But, I don't think I'll be joining them again!

When you're making something by hand, you don't want it to look "machine made". So a crooked edge is not all that bad.  Almost everything I make doesn't have mistakes, they have "character"......   The stuff that I screw up so bad that I can't salvage it is called  firewood.  Besides, when you make something, you will notice all the defects that most people will never see. AND if they do notice, just tell'em you did that on purpose. :)
