Welcome to an addicive, time consuming, wife irritating, absolutely cool hobby - or if you are independently wealthy, great way to pass the time.

Welcome from Georgia (USA). It's a fascinating and sometimes frustrating tool. Practice, turn anything you can get your hands on. And don't forget...we like pictures!

A hand-turned foot massager buys a lot of forgiveness.:biggrin:

Don't spend an hour in your shop turning a seam ripper for your wife if there is a new baby at home. Even if your wife was reading a book, the baby was sleeping, and the 2 year old was watching a video. With newborns, all hell breaks loose quick, then you find yourself pushing Fido aside, and in charge of all middle of the night diaper changes. I don't think a foot massager would have helped my case, I'm just glad that I didn't turn a mallet or rolling pin... :biggrin: I think she's forgiven me, but I better go change another diaper just in case.
