I'm In Trouble

Don Orr

I have no more excuses now. I got a round tuit. A very mean person gave it to me Saturday. I traded one of my turned ornaments to one of our pottery friends for some homemade bread and this was attached to it. I'm not sure my wife has seen it so I might be safe for now, but if she discovers it I'm done. Beware of those bearing gifts!

Merry Christmas everyone!

My name is Don and I'm a Turning addict. There, I finally can admit I have a problem. The problem is not enough time to turn! I work as a Medical Imaging Tech for a living but that's just so I can light and heat the shop and buy more tools. I've been turning since 2000 and it has changed my life. I never had a creative outlet before I discoverd Woodturning and now I can't get enough. After I turned my first pen, my wonderful wife saw how excited I was and bought me a mini lathe. She now refers to herself as a "Turning Widow". She is a potter and quilter so she understands the obsession. My interests in turning are many and varied and I'm sure I will not live long enough to try everything I'd like to, but I'll give it a shot. Unfortunately we don't have any children or pets so you'd think I have all kinds of free time to turn, but for some reason I don't. I belong to the Adirondack Woodturners Association in upstate New York, the Mohawk Valley Woodturners, the Old Country Guild of Woodturnes and AAW, as well as the Northeastern Woodworkers Association. (I'd also like to learn to do flatwork someday.) Happy and Safe Turning, Don

It may not work that way

I've had a bunch of aluminum and steel round tuits in my drawer since the mid 70s. I meant to clean out that drawer but I have not yet gotten around to it.

I'm with JKJ on this one.

Probably won't make much of a difference-unless my wife finds it-then look out.
