A friend has gone most of the way through chemo. Being the optimist that she is, Carol saw that losing her hair presented an opportunity - to go shopping
-for a whig, some hats AND a turban or two.
So, I turned her a whig/hat/turban stand and "enhanced" it a little (pics in a.b.p.w - And Now For Something Completely Different).
Friend's reaction to The Piece has been a) laughter b) that, almost to a man/woman, know someone in chemo therapy.
That got me thinking "We all love to turn wood. We all are always on the look out for some new idea for a turning. Most of us know someone who is in chemo, or know someone who knows someone in chemo.
SO - why not put one of these things on your turning list. The Cancer Society can be found in your yellow pages. When you've got one done give it to someone you know in chemo - or get it to the Cancer Society. You could help someone's life take a turn for the better. Laughter is truly a good medicine and people with a lot of things on their mind could use getting something special.
Maybe this would make a good turners club project. Hell, the Stubby owners could turn Floor Models of the idea. Doesn't require a big lathe though. Did one on my JET mini/midi
At least think about it - ok?
