6/ I can't tell you how many bad bowls I have thrown into the wood stove. Fortunately for me, wood grows on trees.

The Guy @GuygiesReplying to @MorlockPWhen I was 18 I built my own "forge" out of a hot water heater and a squirrel cage fan. Filled it with oak charcoal I made myself and after a couple days of experimenting barely managed to pound out a somewhat crooked chisel. So yeah, 10 years sounds about right.1 reply 0 retweets 15 likesShow this thread -
9/ You have to accept that your output in craft X is going to suck for a very long time. Are you 5? Will mom praise you for trying hard despite your garbage results? No, you are not. No, she will not. So ... don't think that your first bowl is worthy of a gallery show.

I've been a machinist all my life, and the stuff I know nothing about eclipses what I do know by orders of magnitude. Even after a lifetime, we are only masters of a tiny domain.
