I've been married 57 years, so maybe my advice is worth something. My
wife and I have many common interests, which we enjoy together. We also
have our individual interests, which we enjoy separately. I think your
wife has made it clear that woodturning does not excite her. Be happy if
she admires YOUR work--that's probably as far as you can take it.


Sounds like our deal. I don't sew, she doesn't turn, both do shows
together.

Women sew, I can't even mend straight....

Sewing is not that tough, George... think of the sewing machine as a band saw..
*g*

My wife helped me make a couple of shop aprons and I actually found myself
enjoying running the machine... I didn't do it well, but it was interesting..
