How to tell when you've got it bad.

[gomeral]

As some of you know from my introduction, I've turned a dozen pens and now begins the "hey, I can probably make a little money doing this" phase. I've been ordering some supplies and getting excited...all the standard stuff. It's fun, and the anticipation is just such a great feeling, I'm all smiles on my way home from that place I have to go to during the day so I can afford my hobbies.

Well, now I know I'm actually addicted to this pen turning stuff because my PSI order arrived today and I'm psyched that it came with a catalog - now I have something to read in bed!

You know it's really bad when you start taking your catalogue instead of the newpaper to the "terlet".:beer:

There is not a single book in the world (not even the "Lord of the rings"), I would prefer over a catalogue of turning supplies, specialy the pen kit section.

How did you know I do that?You got a camera somewhere near my terlet?

Well, yeah. I was trying to be more subtle, but you caught me. :redface:

Gomeral,
I'm right there with you. I've turned 17 pens and think I'm getting the hang of it. Some look really good, others were experiments in shapes. All were finishing practice:redface:. I've given away most of them and had one sale. A slimline for $20 that a coworker 'just had to have'. My 'facilities' are full of catalogs and turning books of all kinds and occasionally my legs will even fall asleep on me (sorry if TMI)...

YA!! Beautiful...but you'd think they'd have figured out a way to hide the staples.....it's right in the belly button.....errr...I mean...spindle chuck.

I knew we were all on the same page.:good::biggrin:

On the tank of my john sits a PSI, Grizzly, CSUSA, and Woodcraft catalogues, plus American Woodturner and Popular Woodworking. Let's just say I look forward to my morning routine:biggrin:

Yep I do that too.... When I first got started I would dream about it too... still do at times. Now I'm excited to get home from work and go out to the garage to do some woodworking.

I feel a lot better about myself now knowing there are others out there.
