Help!!! SWMBO fell into the vortex...

[Brian Brown]

And she can't get out!!! She has had several projects for me to do for her, and I just never seem to get to them. So today when I parted off my latest effort, she said I want to turn. Now it's hopeless, I will probably never see my lathe again. Can the marriage be saved? Maybe we need a second lathe! Who else out there has his and hers lathes?

Brian, you're not going to get much sympathy from this crowd. My hubby sure didn't.

Things have now progressed to the point that we are having "discussions" about whose turn it is to use the lathe, and he's had a piece on it for two weeks that he hasn't finished yet, and I CAN'T GET TO MY LATHE!!!!

Only a good dose of Mustard or Mayo may will save this marriage!:eek: :rolleyes: :D

Brian you may as well face the facts. You may as well get a PM, DVR or 1642 on order asap cause that is the only thing that will save the marriage. Just remember as the LOML tells me at times, I sure yours will tell you this soon if she already hasn't. What is yours is hers and what is hers is hers!:eek::rolleyes::cool:;)

we have a couple in our local club who have three lathes so that when the grandkids come over they each can work on one at the same time. And when the g-kids are gone....no fighting over the lathes :D

Hey Brian,

Celebrate she likes it! My husband has long said, well, "you're not like other women," you like tools and things! Oh there probably are plenty of women who also enjoy "tools and things," but he made me laugh. (I sorta took over his re-loading bench with the little lathe.) Then we bought a big lathe. So there are two lathes now and we can pretty much do what we like individually if we feel like it. That said, he also has mentioned: man, we need a his and hers BARN or WAREHOUSE. Yep space. Now that, would be nice, but we'll make do with the shop we have for now. Enjoy, glad she shares your interest! Jude

He stopped reloading!:eek:

[Brian Myers]

Just buy a second lathe and think of it this way - She can`t yell at you for spending too much time in the shop if she is their too.:eek::D

[Bill Turpin]

My shop is ugly and TOO dirty. So she had one built. She sweeps up after every turning. Got to love it. She has bought all my tools for me!

No, she doesn't have a sister.

Only a good dose of Mustard or Mayo may will save this marriage!:eek: :rolleyes: :DBrian, please forgive Ken, he'll feel differently after this weekend. He will probably suggest the "Sweet 16" (Robust), The SWMBO would love it.:D :)

Only a second lathe will save this mariage. I don't envy your situation. You eitehr loose your lathe or your pocketbook!!! Choose you this day wisely, which one you save!

[Keith Burns]

Personally, I don't see where you have a problem, only an opportunity !
