[Harry Robinette]

Well the last one is on the lathe turned power sanded and first oiling done.Tomorrow I'll re-sand oil again work on something else awhile then about 3 or 4 hours I'll re-sand and oil again.Sunday afternoon I sand and oil then remove from lathe let dry a couple hours then hand sand to complete oil again then when dry buff and the 3 Sister will be done and by Christmas. Wow these bowls have kicked my lower hind quarter I might have to take a day off. ;)

So all these years, I have been working on my technique and still no success, and in your post I stumble across the answer to my problems. It's not my bad turning technique, poor choice of tools or wood. It's because I don't tuck my tools in at night under a nice warm quilt. I'm sure that must be my problem. Well, tonight that's going to change by golly, and by tomotrrow, I'll be a master turner. I am sure of it. :D The question is, do you read them a bedtime story as well?

I can't see the 3rd bowl here, but if it is as nice as the other two, it is beautiful. Your sisters will love them.

I like all the shavings and the vintage table cloths as well.

Shoot that's not dirty Harry.

Brian you didn't know every night you tuck the lathe in and then tuck your tools in?:D

The table covers do add some color to the shop. Have you ever considered shower curtains to build you a small turning center or just drop the majority of shavings? Here is my shower curtain solution that drops 95%+ of shavings to area to be swept up: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?186812-Lathe-Shower-Curtain-Booth&highlight= I do sweep up the area at end of my shop time and often will remove a couple of 55 gal trash bags full from one session of roughing out bowls, but my other shop surfaces stay relatively clean.

T.C.
I really don't like the curtain system I get way to hot inside them. Tried it a couple years ago and couldn't hardly breath. I also have to have air circulation for my lung problem.
These table cloths do a pretty fair job of keeping things to a point it's not to crazy to clean-up.

I can see by the floor that you had a lot of fun! Looking forward to seeing the bowl once completed!
