I'm working on a project that involves clever or insightful quotations about woodturning. The broader woodworking context may be where I end up with this -- turning is a relatively small part of working with wood -- but I thought I'd throw this out to the Creepers and see what "turns" up.
My personal favvorites are:
"If you don't have a stack of failures in your shop, you aren't trying hard enough. --Richard Raffin.
"Yes, I probably wood." --Anonymous
"It's not thin enough!" -- Everyone
