Say, errr... 'Shawls', I just have to ask if this is a running gag, or are you serious? I'll withhold any further commentary, as it is some clean spindle work, and on-topic to boot.

The Rotationiste is a tongue in cheek ongoing story that pokes a little fun at The Aht World which various groups of woodworkers are trying hard to become full fledged members of (sorry about the dangling preposition) - primarily for economic reasons. Shops must be called Studios and the woodworking taking on the title of Studio Furniture Maker, Studio Wood Artist etc. Gary Knocks Beannitt is the model on which The Rotationist is mainly based, with a little Gihooli (sp?) thrown in 'cause he's really got the persona of AHTIST that The AHT World is looking for down to a science.

So, in general, don't take any of this Rotationiste stuff seriously and feel free to comment away. I've been here long enough to develop a pretty thick skin and I've got the Nomex suit so critique away.

Just be careful there, Chawls, working at the lathe, with your tongue planted so firmly in your cheek.

Patriarch, with a large bin full of 'interesting firewood', that might have been bowls...

Whew... good! :) I was just beginning to wonder with all the threads you've devoted to it. :)

Carry on, then!
