Jim and I are on the net and found a guy that sounds like you, so we copied
his musings. Here they are.
Mac's Musings


My interests and purposes
At age 83, I have acquired many biased and erroneous yet firmly held
opinions. I have had a lifetime of happy and not so happy experiences. I
will share some of them here with hopes that your response will not only
help to correct my mistaken opinions and errors of judgment, but also will
reinforce the good things. The contents of this hash of unrelated musings
are strictly my own. I have no wish to aggravate or inflame anyone and my
attitudes are likely to change often. Please respond in the same vein. Arch

Thom and Jimmie

I guess this has flown right over my head... I don't get it. Yeah, you
posted Arch's musings web page... and?

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.
