    I don't believe it

    The wife took a all-day wood turning craft at Woodcraft today. She really liked it too and made 3 spindles. I sat around, studied, and drank coffee most of the day.

    During the morning break, she came out and said we need to get a bunch of new tools to keep her turning tools sharp and hands me a list to go buy. My mouth dropped open and I was in shock - my wife telling me to go buy woodworking tools..

    So we just got home with several books, slow-speed woodcraft grinder (with stand), grading stone, 2 diamond sharpening stones, wolvering jig, gouge fixture for the wolverine jig.

    She's instructed me to clean off the table the lathe is sitting on so she can get started.

    I don't know if I should be worried or happy.

    Dangerous when both partners are on that slippery slope... But it has potential!

    Good luck!

      I was going to take my wife to the all day Hummer off road driving training experience as a safety measure, but the outcome wouldn't have been as explicit.

            I took my wife to town yesterday. I got a 12 ton shop press from Northern Tool, and some AK ammo from Gander Mountain. She got a toilet seat from Home Depot. And SHE installed it
