Hi. My name is Mike. I spin wood.

I feel like the first day at a 12 step program.

My wife bought me a mini grizzly lathe today.
Gonna be here in a few days.

Now I need all manner of stuff...

wood - I have some spare 2x4 kickin around. I suppose if I cut it down to 1x1 it should do to learn from.
tools - any suggestions for a couple chisels to start with?
paper - would one of those three grit multipacks do?
gloves - might as well start right hands are still soft from all this keyboard poking
goggles - no sense taking chances my eyes are bad enough already
paint - I have some krylon or rustoleum in the shed
sanding sealer, epoxy, etc - will have to do more reading
stencils - maybe I can get some fishnets off you ladies?

If I get all that before PN2 think someone could give me a little 1-on-1 to get started?


Then hardware for the plugs!!!

lips, through wire, snaprings, hooks, lead...
aw man... this list just keeps growing!

anyone have some spares they could part with at the meeting?

There is a fine line that seperates a fisherman from a fool standing in water swinging a stick.

will cook for food
...and plugs
