RCW's Woodturners, Woodturning and Woodturnings comprise an amazing
diversity of Personality, Process and Product. There's 'Woodturner'
Charlie's wonderful 'Woodturning' methods that result in innovative
'Woodturnings' that add so much thought and variety to our group. Other
RCW Woodturner's Woodturning efforts result in excellent Woodurnings.
Sure enough this post is defensive wadding; doggerel at its worst, but
it's as readable and useful as spam.


Some of us turn for the pleasure of turning, caring little for the
finished product. Others suffer the turning for the satisfaction of a
fine product. Some of us turn only as a excuse to collect an ever
increasing accumulation of duplicated tools and equipment. Several of us
attempt to produce turnings that are any shape but round and symmetric
on a machine designed to make wood round and symmetric.


Some of us turn to make something to sell, others to make gifts, others
don't really know what to do with their accumulated turnings; too many
to keep, too nice to give to strangers. too much trouble and not enough
'involvement' to sell. Nice turnings; they sit gathering dust.



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.

I turned 4 bowls yesterday morning but broke one while buffing it.
They were about 1 1/2 inches diameter. How's that?

Speaking of florid ignorance, I stopped by the Health Department to
tell them they had mis-spelled 'tetanus' on their sign out in front of
the building.
