Well...Today I decided to get one step closer to completing my turning shop. I was originially planning on building a wall to divide my "man room" into a turning area, and another area for other stuff.
As the weeks have gone on, I haven't had time to do it. I still have to tile my mom's bathroom floor and laundry room floor before I can even begin to think about turning something.
So today I ordered a couple self-adhesive zippers from Lee Valley. I'll go to HD and pick up some plastic sheeting, and I have some 1x2 that I'll use on the ceiling, walls and floor to attach the sheeting to. My wife is probably going to crap a brick, but at this point I don't really care.
I have sold, traded and given away everything I no longer use and have acumulated a lathe, drill press, motor and arbor for polishing, diamond stones for sharpening, lathe chisel set, other stuff I'm forgetting and a couple of blanks that the great people here generously sent me.
It's time for me to do what I want to do and that is make some shavings. I was almost tempted to put the lathe up on some saw horses outside just to say I have turned the first pen on my new lathe!
Thanks for letting me vent and listening to my rant. My wife isn't in the room, so I can rant.
Now I'll go back to being ticked off that she caught the 10 lb catfish that was playing with my lures all morning! :curse::curse::curse::devil:
:biggrin:
