Default How do you interest your wife in woodturning?

O.K guys enough.
I just wanted to have something else we could do together, but thinking
about all you have said maybe best leave well alone. At least I don't have
to share my lathe or wood or tools now, do I? Anyway after fifty one years
of marriage I don't really need to see more of her.

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?

Tom, you gotta think this one through - if you teach your wife to turn,
you won't get too, all your prime wood will disappear, and you'll be
stuck clean up sawdust and doing dishes. Is that *really* what you
want? g
