I like old sayings, and this one must be attributed to Dr. Roger
Michaelson, who has sold his lathe so he can travel: You know that it
is time to clean up the shop when you have to get down on your knees to
turn.
I also remember seeing once in some publication something like 10
reasons or ways about "you know you are a turner if....." Does anyoue
know the rest of the story? It would make a neat T shirt, of course
with credit to and permission from the author.

Thank you for the reminder. I was going to say it was about 2 years ago.
Art Liestman compiled the list from this news group and posted the best on

Well some of those sound familiar, but I remember one about you might
be a woodturner if you have a hole in your elbow from the tailstock.
Anyway, thanks.

There was a, "You might be a woodturner IF..." of about 40 or so
messages on this site back in January of 2003. I did a search on this
group in Google and it was the first one up. Some pretty good original
material.

Another one from Larry Karlen in Roseburg; while in the local Woodcraft
store,"I don't know what's wrong with me, I can't find one tool here
that I just can't live without.

the origional post was Jan. 25,2003 and worth the visit. A number of
chuckles. A bit if excentricity.
