Turning #1: Rough Bowls

Nice work, Dorje! Bet the wife is going to love all those bowls for the kitchen. But, now she’ll see you less than she did before you had the lathe!

I see your lovely wife got you a bigger lathe. Tres cool! Pam already has a lifelong get out of jail free card for getting me a 14” Bandsaw. I’m with Lee and Tom. Can’t wait to see what comes off. Now I just wished I lived in Seattle so I could take a spin…

Dorje -

Very nice! Looks like you are having fun. Congratulations of the lathe!

Thanks all -

I think I’ll actually see more of my wife in the shop, because she has an interest in turning.

Douglas – how often does your wife go to jail? Also, too bad the cyber tool share doesn’t work as well as it should! And shoot, Seattle and Omaha ain’t that far apart!

Pam has a friend who lives on Mercer Island. If I’m ever in the neighborhood, I’ll be sure and call!

Dorje,

Good work…looks like you will have lots of finish turning in your “queue” for the coming months!

Dorje,

Sweet! You’re standing in tall cotton for sure with all of that Cherry. That probably sounds like I’m just a wee bit jealous… Nah, me? Well, truth be known, we get lots of Cherry down Texas way…NOT! I only get to turn Cherry once in a blue moon, and the old man in the moon does not seem to like the colour blue… :-(

Seriously, congrats. Cherry is a wonderful timber to work with… I just wish it grew in Texas! The maple is sweet as well and it doesn’t grow here much either. Will they let red-headed Texan woodturners live in your parts? :-) Take care and best wishes to you and yours!

Thanks guys!

Douglas – sounds like a plan!

Mark – and that’s not all I got in my queue…need to learn to PRIORITIZE!

Steve – too funny! I’m sure the authorities would allow red-headed Texan woodturners in these parts. You’d have to pass the exam though!

Great job Dorje. I love your bowls. You are getting started down the road to lots of big wood shavings.

Hey Dorje,

Oh well, if there’s a test, I guess I better stay in the heat and humidity capital of the known and unknown universe – Houston (we call it HOTston), Texas. I’ve done a bunch of demos in your neck of the woods… I love Seattle, it’s a great place with really good coffee! :-) You’re a lucky bloke for sure. Take care and best wishes to you and yours!

Lathe work is a lot of fun.
My lathe is in the detached garage and my primary shop is in the basement.
Keep forgeting how much I like turning.

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Thanks guys!

Very nice Dorje…hey when are you bringing that Alaskan Mill down to cut my cedar log…

-- Steffen

Steffen- It can’t be Wednesday…I’ll be milling the maple next door!
