Hi Folks,
I guess I just learned one of woodturning lessons. She who must be obeyed is very jealous of the time I spend between "Her "garden and "My" turning. I'd spent the day in the garden and all was quiet from indoors so I crept into the workshop and set up in the chuck, a bit of branch wood about 200mm long by 60mm dia. Trying to hurry to get a bit done before further orders, I forgot to wind in the live end in the tail stock. I now have split lips too thick for me to whistle the dog, if I had one. Luckily I broke no teeth nor my nose.
I am telling this to warn some of our other newcomers to turning who I have seen signed on lately, to be careful and think through the process before pressing the button.
Regards Sid
