What an unusual hobby/occupation and what a stupid musing. Well at at
least I'm not pontificating about art vs craft and I'm not peddling
Viagra nor do I have a fortune in an African bank to share with you.
Besides I'm musing about woodturning, even if that's become a minority
topic here compared to spammed sex and florid ignorance. OTOH, maybe
woodturning has become spam. RCS, Rec Crafts Spamming? I hope not, so
please Y'all, post _something about the "W" in RCW, even if this COC
will probably criticize it.

for me, wood turning is part of an exploration - an exploration into new (or
new aspects) of an artful craft, or possibly a crafty art. It is about the
process, but the process includes a pleasing result. I am enamored of my
recent project, liking it more each time I look at it or touch it. For this
reason it will make a swell gift for a friend or relative. I do like the idea
of getting more stuff for my man-cave, but I am severely limited in space, so
my new stuff is usually pretty small, or else I have to get rid of something
else that I have not used in a long time. (this is actually a foolish and
short-sighted policy... just because I have not used a thing for 10 or 20
years does not mean it can be safely discarded, reference some wood samples
that are older than I am, recently used in my most recent project.)

This has nothing to do with the art of peddling viagra crafts from an African
bank. Besides, it gave me bad headaches.
