    You go to the Smithsonian, see George Washington's desk, and mutter "I could make a fortune turning and selling pens from that wood."

    Your last lathe cost more than your truck or the wife's van.

    You carry anchorseal in both of your cars.

    You can not find the tablesaw anymore because it's buried under a mountain of bowl blanks.

    The shop is insured for more than your house.

    You can't pass ANY piece of cut tree on a road or path without wondering what to turn out of it, and what it would look like.

    You go through your shop looking for tools or gadgets you haven't used in a long time, deciding which ones to sell to raise money for your next gadget that will for sure help you in some way, but that just gets used once if at all and disappears under the sawdust until...(start reading this paragraph again at the top).

    You peruse Craig's list, Ebay, Recycler, and your local paper daily looking for that truly incredible old iron, a lathe worth restoring.

    When you walk into Woodcraft to get some drawer slides and walk out with a new bowl gouge instead!

    60 grit is a turning tool, ain't it?

    When you think about how you can glue up all your milled lumber into segments for bowls.
