    When people start paying you more than your stuff is worth.

    I thought it was when you have a refrig, stove and bed within arms reach of the lathe

    When "copied" turns into "inspired by"...

    I'm still waiting for the garage to turn into the shop.

    As soon as you clean it up enough to have visitors in formal dress attire?

    When customers start referring to your turnings as 'Art'.

    When you leave the area not covered in dust.

    When all your cabinets, doors, and tools have handles as fancy as your gallery turnings, and your walls are not only insulated, they are paneled or sheetrocked, your floor is hardwood (hey- I got that much!) and your picture window looks out over the Grand Tetons or something picturesque...

    Or maybe when you just start calling it your studio... "Hey, come on out to my studio!"

    Course then you have to deal with raised expectations...


    I would have to practice my excuses...

    "Durn! Looks like an explosion went off in here. It was clean and organized when I left it".

    "Oh that kid of mine! I let him use the studio for a few hours and look what happens..."

    "Blasted thieves! Always trashing the place!"

    "This wood just seems to multiply and stack up everywhere- think it's the water?"
