Very much akin to Mac, every now and then I mount a length of
branchwood and just hammer it, not WITH a hammer, not trying to make
anything, just to be a beginner again and experience the sheer pleasure
of just turning. Sometimes it works although more often than not it
stimulates me into turning something worthwhile.

As for being less accomplished, I think the whole experience is
enhanced by a form of regressive activity, or have I missed the point?
