I have been trying to get my wife interested in woodturning to no avail. I
tried to interest her by asking her things like, do you think the grain on
this leg would be a good match for this one? Or which bowl shape do you
think would be nice for this blank? All I get for an answer is your the
turner you decide. So my question is how do you guys get your better
halves interested in what you are doing on the lathe?

This is a slippery slope... one guy in my club got his wife interested. All
of the sudden the Jet Midi wasn't enough and they got a One Way. The wife
has taken it over and the guy has to wait his turn. ;~) The wife comes to
all of our meetings and to guest speaker presentations... she seems to be
into it more than he is!

As another poster suggested, if that's what you want perhaps you have to
marry the right one... this is the second go around for both of them and
they get along tremendously to the point where others are envious.
