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?

Sorry Tom,I can't offer much help here. Besides, it seems you have
already received plenty of suggestions anyway.

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.

Tom

I do have a question though... How do I get my husband interested in
woodworking? I'm not worried about my tools, that's what my locking
tool chest is for. Do I already see too much of him? Well, no,
although I would like to see a little less of the mess that follows.

And Tom... just days shy of 52 years of marriage, one of the last
things my father said to me was he could leave everything else behind,
except his wife. If I had one mentor in life, he was/is it.
