    You look at material to see how much to glue up before you can turn it round.

    You take your shirt off at the end of the day and the pockets are full of wood shavings.

    You get a gleam in your eye when there's a wind storm and you know that some trees are gonna go down.

    You carefully examine each piece of firewood before you throw it in the fire.

    Oh no, I must be one! True Story -- Moved From Denver to Houston 15 years ago. Had bought a new snow shovel before leaving Denver and used it only twice. It has hung in the garage here in Houston for the last 15 years inspite of my wife telling me I should get rid of it. The second week I had my lathe I had enough wood shavings on the floor that I pulled it down. It is now my "Lace Shovel" ...I know, no pic...it never happened right? Here it is.

    You rob the blades off your jointer and cut them up to make scrapers for your hollowing rig.
