It’s sort of a never ending series…

I like woodturning

I should get a lathe

I’ll need a place to put it – okay, build a workshop

Got the workshop, need power.

Got power, need the lathe. Hi Craigslist!

Also need tools

Gosh it’s dark in here, need lights

Look at all the sawdust! Need a shop vac.

Dayam, my tools are dull, need a grinder

Grinder is okay, but a jig for the tools on the grinder is helpful

Could use a better chuck for the lathe

Hmm, time to start finishing – need sandpaper.

And polyurethane

and stains

and brushes and clothes for them.

My garbage can needs to be larger

Where the heck can I get more wood?

It sorta goes on and on. But, there’s also the point where you can build your own stuff. I can’t make my own tools, but I can build lighting and a new tool rack!

Scraps around the shop put it all together – it was a nice Saturday afternoon project.

Need more wood…
