Yesterday, while passing through the
power tool section of a hardware store, I came upon a wood lathe on display.
I stopped and looked the lathe over.
Way back in my days of high school
wood shop, I thought having a wood lathe would be a pretty cool retirement thing. I imagined myself turning out all kinds of
fancy widgets in a small hobby shop.
After staring at the price tag on the
lathe for a second, I walked away and purchased a paintbrush instead.
Paintbrush: the new cool!

I have similar thoughts every time I watch YouTube videos of lathe turned bowls and assorted weirdness made from things like Fordite, which I have some bizarre need to own. Then I look at the 5 spinning wheels in my studio and laugh and laugh because One More Hobby would surely get me in loads of trouble.
