The glasswork of Dale Chihuly (sp?) comes to mind. He's been unable to
do hands-on glass work for decades and has skilled craftspeople
produce the glass pieces under his direct instruction.


But, IIRC, it is no secret that his works are created by Teams.

'Tis true. I guess for woodturners, we oughta lop off an arm or
something and then have a good excuse for having our own Team. (Reminds
me of the Pythons and Life of Brian... or was it Jabberwocky?)

Tips fer Turnin': Place a sign, easily seen as you switch on your lathe, warning you to remove any and all rings from your fingers. Called degloving, extended hardware can grab your ring and rip it off your finger. A pic for the strong of stomach: www.itim.nsw.gov.au/go/objectid/2A3AC703-1321-1C29-70B067DC88E16BFC/index.cfm

Besides, rings can easily mar the surface of a turning as you check for finished smoothness.
