    Your body is fully engulfed with some unknown rash, because you have gotten into some outstanding looking exotic wood.

    Your neighbors think you have joined the space program, because they see you all the time with this funny looking head gear on with all types of hosing coming out of it in to air packs.

    You realise you have missed supper, because you just looked at the clock and it's now 11 pm.

    You know your a turner when you try to out do Norm and maintain five lathes with a grinder for each one.

    When you have lost all sense of touch in your fingertips due to their perpetual state of being encased in CA glue.

    And your entire hands are forever discolored from turning too much green walnut

    When you turn in your sleep and wake up beside your chainsaw?

    When you're from near Charlotte, NC and the Panthers lose you don't really care. That just means you can spend another Sunday afternoon in front of the lathe?

    When you can name a dozen nationally known turners from pictures of their work and dozens more not so known turners from across the world?

    When your wife, your co-workers, your friends, your family, and some people that you've just met have a nice new wood slim line pen, you know you're a new woodturner.

    When you bring something in from the shop and your wife says, "That's nice honey." without even looking up?
