Thread: New shed rules

LTI = Life Threatening Incident I guess.

Now , as someone once remarked of you and your toy lathe:

DO YOU REALLY DO THIS FOR A LIVING?????

BTW, shavings are one thing, dust is another matter altogether. I note you didn't post a pic of that big exhaust fan too.

One last thing: old Aust. expression. Come in spinner.

Jeff, I think you'll pay for that, next time the Axe Man cometh

I cannot claim for my shed to end up as covered as 's, but I am going to have to get around to building the drawers to keep the shavings and dust of the majority of my toys.

Pat, I'm holding one tiny ace up my sleeve at the moment:

- 's tutoring work is on display at the Exhibition this year. If I fail, so does he!!!

(A wise Vic Wood once said that if the student is failing, so is the teacher. I run this one out quite a bit when my chisels are misbehaving.... ).

I can appreciate where Vic was coming from with that observation, but let me say as a lifelong teacher it over-generalises.

Some students never get it. Some get it on the spot. And some get it some time down the track.

Yes, Ern, I am sure there have been times when was at a loss when my turning was woeful. Perhaps he is less worried these days???? I hope so.

Yes, Tea Lady, the last 12 months have been difficult. The pair are a contrast in styles if nothing else. But one thing is for sure, they both have the same ear for bad turning techniques, mistakes and uphill cutting.....

Interestingly, I think I have taken a little bit from both mentors and have made a composite brew.

As for failure, that is not an option. I get my benchmark scores at the Exhibition this year and must better them in 2011. I need 170 points. If not this year, maybe next. Or the year after.

Yeah but Carl would also say that - he never stops - lost time.

I think there is a quote from Einstien. Goes something like- if a messy desk is a sign of a messy mind what does an empty one mean?

Fridge and more importantly, THE KETTLE is always accessible.
