>Yep Mark I miss read your post. I had read Barbara's post just before your's and she said she will unplug her lathe during lightning season. That unplug part stuck with me as I read your post.

Thanks for the clarification.

I have been turning wood for about 12 years now. I consume about 20 hours a week in front of the lathe making primarly bowls and platters. I keep thinking about making other "stuff" on the lathe, and ocasionaly I even get beyond the thinking part. But I take the most pleasure in bowls and platters. I have most every tool availble for the lathe but I am always looking for a new tool. More than looking for a new tool I am looking for a new hunk of wood. While a corner woodworker (sometimes called flat woodworker) can never have enough clamps, I find most woodturners can never have enough turning stock. The woodturning club I belong to has a Christmas party each year and part of that party is a "grab bag". We bring in a turning, that is judged by the people who come to the party. The people who make the top three turnings get prizes (like sandpaper or a tool). The real prize though is the exchange of turnings that comes from this colection of turnings. Some of my most cherished turned objects are the ones I have recieved from these grab bags.

>I live south of Houston about 30 miles. Its over the horizon so I can't see it. About 15 miles west of Alvin if you know where that is. I'm about 40 miles from the Gulf, in a straight line, so we get a number of storms off the Gulf in the summer that never make it into Houston.
