progress

So, its been 10 days since I decided to center on green woodworking as a means of livelyhood. First, I moved my “shop” from the middle of our yard to behind our shed in order to get it out of public view. This makes my wife happy as this sort of full time activity is not popular with the managers of the mobile home park we live in. (Don’t tell anyone.) I had qualms for a few days but I work lots of hours every day, I am sleeping better, and I have lost 11 pounds (body weight not sterling). Inventory is growing as is the list of events I will be attending. I have adapted my pole lathe t be able to turn small bowls and up to 10″ plates. I am also doing for-pay work: furniture repair, boat fittings, hanging wall board, and such. Best of all, I am adjusting to and becoming comfortable with my decision; less qualm, more hope.
