Stopped off at B&N, looked at wood turning books.
I think I want to build a little shed to house my stuff.

I have heard it said that a Wise Man builds a shed over his best tool.

Went to HoDespot and found that they dont carry any turning tools! After putting woodworkers whorehouse out of business in the area they dont carry the gear anymore!!

Drove down to sears and bought the 6piece chisel set, face shield, and sandpaper.

In the set was the 1"skew and 1/4"gauge that I really wanted.
They had single 1/2" skew, and 3/4"gauge but at 18-25 bucks each tool I figured get the set and be done for now.

... heh.. the lathe is still in the box.
I need to find the shop vac and cleanup the spiders around my old workbench.

Then I am going to scrounge up some wood and cut it down to manageable blocks..
what size folks?
looks like maybe 1.5-2 x 8-10 for starts.

If the old drillpress is still around I will be set for a while.
NEed to see about a drill chuck for the GrizzlyMini lathe....

oh the madnes

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

will cook for food
...and plugs
