    Wife has been busy

    I may of made a mistake teaching the wife how to turn--just kidding-- heck I am tickled she is having fun.
    Here's a couple of things she has done so far.

    Hay Gary, that's great. Sign her up in the mini club. Great gob on the captive ring. If she can get two at the same time and a little more open, then she can try the interlocking rings. May be a little tough in the cedar though, however worth a try.

    Very cool!! There's lots of bowls and glasses...now she'll need to do some platters to complete the set!

    Indeed she has!!! Her output in numbers may not equal your output in volume but she sure seems to be having fun. Great to have your wife share your hobby.

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Now we're talking. I think anything made at the lathe is neat, but I made a top and the kids all want one now. Are some of those oak? Is the dowl popular. What kind of finish is on them to protect the little one's. Inquiring minds wants to know.

    That is great Gary. I am trying to show my wife the lathe. Hope she will take it up. Nice turnings.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

    Thanks Ernie---I have got a bunch of folks started---a few have even stayed with it.
    Bernie---If you get her started---two of everything---are you sure---oh and don't forget the stuff she wants that you do not use. Margie has a Axminster chuck now.

    Great post Mr. Gary....now you need to have Mrs. Gary sign up on the Creek so she can do her own posts. That way we won't be confused as to who the real turner is
