    dang michelle, thats pretty impressive, takes a ton of patience, most of us turners don't have that kind of patience, thats why we turn. Insta gratification.

    I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!

    It's really nice to see some top notch spindle turning for a change. It seems like bowls and hollow forms prevail around here to the point where you almost forget that there are other things you can do on a lathe. That's a sweet chair. Looks like a nice job on the seat too...

    You could be addicted to worse things. I would love to build an entire set of chairs very similar to this one.

    Fantastic work. I too appreciate seeing such inspiring spindle work, not to mention chair building!

    Thank you ladies & gents..I too see very little spindle work anymore. I love bowls and forms, but good spindle work is disappearing. Funny, over on WOW I got awarded" Picture of the Day" becau se of spindle work. It's rarer than hen's teeth. I think it may be because we all probably started with spindle turning, and somehow think that when we go to bowl turning, we have graduated to a higher plane???? If any of you have secret spindle work, and haven't posted it, let's see it!

    addiction - i dont smoke, i dont drink but dont touch my wood...lol

    I am looking forward to making something with spindles and have quite a few stored up but right now have nothing requiring them.

    Very nice chair and I hope to have the patience to make something like that one day...
