Well, that's it. I'm hooked.

Got the lathe home--wait, that's a story in and of itself. So, the
short version of this letter is, to all those turners, thanks a
lot and go to hell. I'll never get anything done around the house
again. But I'll have a ****load of candlesticks


You were warned. It's as close to instant gratification as you'll get in
woodworking, and it's fun even when you don't go start to finish (pun
intended) in one sitting.

Ask the guy with a couple hundred bowls on his shelves in various states
from rough to awaiting finish who can't wait to rough out some new big
chunks of maple.
