OK, not that I don't agree with Arch, Leo, and others about camping is a
release from everyday life, I guess I should better explain my real concern.
A manager of local state park has contacted me wanting to do a fall crafts
weekend. Basically, she would like to invite craftsmen to set up camp in the
state park for the weekend and show off their abilities and products. I've
contacted a few crafts people I've met over time (oak basket makers, wood
carvers, etc.). She asked that I contact a few wood turners as well. I'm a
bit concerned with the safety aspect of what COULD happen and possibly how
to prevent it from happening. Also, if we decide to do some wood turning,
how best to set up the mini lathe so that it won't be walking across the
picnic table when turned on.
Her thought was that each craftsman could show in progression how their
art/craft is created (from raw stock to finished product).

Perhaps my toungue in cheek approach was a bit much but it was so dead on
here lately I thought I'd at least get some responses (and I did), but they
weren't exactly the responses I was looking for.

Sorry for the confusion.

I wholeheartedly agree. I still remember camping in Yosemite Valley, and
seeing the setup at a nearby campsite: two families pitched their tents
face to face, surrounded the space with tarps, and sat inside playing
cards.

Want to do woodturning? Stay home. Or you could construct a large
enclosed trailer, with a complete shop inside. Besides selling your
turnings to the campers, you could probably get additional revenue by
putting beer ads on the outside surfaces. For the sarcasm impaired: TIC.
