I wish that we all had the equipment we wish we had.
I wish we all could make our projects using the complicated techniques used by the great masters.
I wish that when I finsihed a project I coudn't see my own mistakes.
I wish I were truely a great turner.
I wish that I had an 8yo with me all the time to remind me what is fun and what is not.
I wish that I was as courageous as a 10yo, never fearing failure and thinking that life lasts forever.
I wish I had the wood that my progenitors had, making furniture that people wanted and were willing to pay for.
I wish that artisans were respected and appreciated as the important contributers to our generation that they are.
I wish I were 20yo but, with all the knowledge and insight I have at 49.
I wish we SMC members could all be at one place at once and have a great party. We would never be the same again...
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!
