That's the trouble with woodturning. No real use for much, too much
fun to leave alone. You get yourself a lathe and the next thing is


Like having a plane in the hand and eyeing the furniture for unbeveled
edges...

you're turning everything in sight. There's a limit to how many turned
mathoms a chap needs.


You can always give them away on your birthday or bring them to the
mathom house at Michel Delving...
