I have a few...
1. I don't care for turning wet wood... especially if its spraying wet all over the shop!
2. I enjoy turning crappy wood... in fact, its almost all I turn.
3. I often sand my bowls on the lathe at >1200 rpm... or with an angle grinder and a flap disc
4. I'm willing to risk bleeding, bruises, and banged up hands to turn crappy wood... (I haven't taken a shot to the head in a long time! And I wear serious gear if its too sketchy...)
5. I rarely "ride the bevel"
6. Brute force sometimes works better than "proper" technique.
7. I won't give up on a piece... I've spent WAY too many hours saving a piece that probably wasn't worth it in the end
8. I enjoy the struggle of the most difficult pieces
9. Since I got my 3M PAPR about 5 years ago, I don't mind sanding!
10. I never have, and probably never will, enjoy spindle turning
Don't judge me.
