saying's to live life by
Well, it finally happened. I've read about "spectatcular" catches on
the lathe, but had yet to see one. That was until two evenings ago. I had just near finished a beautiful 12" bowl of spalted maple and decided to make one final finish pass on it before sanding. A few seconds later, the gouge grabbed and the bowl basically exploded and flew all over the shop. Spectacular? Maybe, disheartening, definitely. I walked away without cleaning up my mess, disgusted. This got me to wandering, what sayings do woodworkers use to overcome or explain an unfortunate event such as this? As I walked to the house I was thinking, "don't cry over spalted maple" or "don't count your bowls before their turned". I know I've heard my grand dad say things that only fellow workers of wood understood and I wandered if anyone else out there had similar things to say. JD |
