What I do in my spare time.

As I grow older I am realizing that I don't have much time anymore. Moreover, what time I do have is spent teaching, with family, taking classes, upkeep on the old homestead or that sliver of time called "me time". While this is not usually a lot of time it is important to me. This is my time, to do something that make me happy. I know it sounds selfish...but being the best Dad, husband, teacher and friend requires that sometimes we take care of ourselves for the good of everyone. I like working with wood. I am not some premier builder of furniture or stuff like that. But I do have a knack for wood turning. What I like about wood turning is that I can embrace my "artsy" side. I can look at that piece of wood spinning at 1250 rpm's and almost see what I want it to become. This and the quiet that comes with it, is peaceful and calms my stormy seas (so to speak). So this blog is dedicated to my spare time. I will try and post pictures of things I have made (all of which are for sale at reasonable prices!) and maybe throw in a few posts about life, teaching and other things as well.
