With the end of the Hectic Holidays period a mere 4 hours away I'd like to wish one and all a safe and happy new year.
I finally have space for House Furniture I've been planning to make for close to a decade - so turning is going to be a fill in thing while glue or finishes dry on furniture projects.
I've got 14 lineal feet of cabinets/bookshelves to do, a couple of coffee tables, a computer desk, an entertainment center, a corner desk unit, maybe some end tables and some built in shelves in a closet to do. So - turning is going on a back burner for the foreseeable future.
I want to thank the folks in this group for great ideas, things to ponder, all sorts of help and advice, feed back on some of my Wild Hare Ideas - but most of all - for the comraderie. This was, and no doubt will continue to be - a great place with good people.
Thanks again - and I'll drop in from time to time and see who is doing what.

With the taking back of my WHOLE house (I can either have a 2 bdr, 1 bth,
1 ktchn place AND a 1bdr, 1bth, 1ktchn place OR a 3bdr, 2 bth, 2 ktchn place), after renting the front for what seems like forever, I now have space for what got me into woodworking to begin with - furniture making. Been collecting nice wood and the tools to make nice things with it - for close to 10 years. But when you inherit a LOT of nice rosewood chinese furniture, and put most of it in an 800 sf place - there's no room for anything new.So turning, which was a way to play with wood because there was no place to put any house furniture
