forced break

[weisyboy]

realized today that i haven't touched the lathe in over 12 months.:~

and it dosent look like im gunna get near it any time soon.:no:

i havent had any quality time in the workshop for a long time between work and family all my time seams to disapear.:C

i think my faceplate might be at the engineering shop with a prototype stake pointer on it. come to think of it they have one of my 3hp motors.:doh:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

PSSSST! Me neither. It's a bummer, eh wot? :doh:

[Sawdust Maker]

Geez
you poor buggers
and I complain when I don't get out there for a little play every 2nd or 3rd weekend

[Ed Reiss]

...to make you guys feel better, I'll plan on not turning for at least 12 months :no::roll::D

[Pat]

And I am in the middle of 2 weeks holiday to play in the shed, doing what ever takes my fancy. Bowl turning or spindle:U

Yeh, but you do get to play with a bigger toy nearly every day :U

[Reece]

that's gotta hurt, i spend time on the lathe at least 3 times a week. i think it's so i can stay out of wifey's way while she's sewing though.

[Broda]

12 months?!
I hate going a week!

I try to do something most days

[orificiam]

Since Retiring 2 weeks Ago i get to visit the shed everyday,
mostly to smell the wood. But I Get to Play with the Lathe if I feel the Urge.
Cheers Tony :)

Oh well don't feel too bad I haven't had a workshop for over two years and most of my gear is in storage. :C Managed to finish two bowls in the last few months and the third one flew out of the chuck and now I use it to put my coffee pot, only the base survived. :U

So that was the terrible screaming sound I heard down the valley :;

[rsser]

Ed, 12 months???

How come?

[rsser]

Who's this Skew character? :p

(Gotta WiFi laptop in the shed now Andy? :wink: ..)

Was wondering the same meself - there is a dim dark recollection in the nether regions of my mind, ... who was that man :cool:

[Sawdust Maker]

'tis a bit sad really
went out to the shed today, looked at the lathe, looked at the P & N chisels, mixed up some epoxy and ..

glued up the new, work in progress, letterbox :doh:

[Neal]

Dont feel bad I am up to 2 year n 4 months. Put a motorcycle back in my life & there arent enough w/ends for both but starting to think some shed time is due.

[hughie]

So that was the terrible screaming sound I heard down the valley :;

certainly allot of muttering and the darn segmented job I used your sander on, went the same way. :~ ........... must be rusty.

As for Skew, urban legend, he never existed. :U

[Ed Reiss]

Ed, 12 months???

How come?

Just kidding, Ern...and hopefully it won't be a long time for you 'cause of the accident.

[rsser]

Neal, yep, nothing like the adrenaline of riding to distract you from wood hacking.

Ed, good to hear. You had me worried. My paw's OK for a bit of turning but I have to confess being a little obsessed by the tuning of plane blades and bench chisels by means of Japanese waterstones at the moment.

Weisy and others, yes, life can take over; or you can get stale with the turning you've being doing. No drama. That's the way life is. For me, I then look at learning something new to do on the lathe or with DIY lathe tools.

[Neal]

Yeah its been good for relaxing & clearing work crud from the mind rsser just got to stay uprite & out of the wood so to speak.

Weisyboy the way I look at the cobwed covered stuff in the shed is I own it, it may need cleaning & maybe sharpening but as far as I can see in the future a chissel,plane, lathe etc aint going to change to much so if & when I win power ball I will have enough time to do whatever I want in the shed or otherwise that is another plus to this hobby.

Cheers Neal
