Arch · 2004-07-07T21:16:08+00:00

1. We _strive for art but _settle for craft.2. Half dried timber is in the worst possible state for turning.3. Tools & equipment made in the Far East, must be inferior.4. The more advanced our equipment and turning aids, the moresatisfaction in our turning.5. Who needs Einstein? Time is relative because the astronomic output of(some) production turners leaves them time to sleep, eat and whatever. 6. Adding "TIC" or ":)" makes an injurious comment acceptable.7. Antique -> Patina -> Warm Glow -> Satin Sheen -> Luster -> Gloss ->Shine -> Painted Lady is _not the ascending order for quality finish.8. It's impossible for a turned object of today to have a unique form,design, use or concept or to be truly original. 9. It's the spouses and thosewmbo who limit our turning expenditures,time and space.10. It is true because an authority in another field said it is true.11. A bonus myth; my myths are actually true & self evident. What aresome of yours? With TIC & :) Arch Fortiter,
