I turn for enjoyment only. I give away what I make, I don't take money. I did that for one season, selling turnings at a farmer's market. "Can you make...? Can you redesign...?" No, I won't! This is my hobby, I turn for my reasons, and none are to make money. Honestly, turning for money sucked the fun out of my hobby. Anyway, to me, anything bigger than a cereal bowl is too much work, for several reasons. I don't even own my 24" lathe anymore. I keep my turnings small, no bigger than about one hand in size. The few 15-18" bowls I made, I didn't enjoy the process. But that's me, my perspective. To anyone new(er) to this craft, don't let yourself feel that you *need* to buy big machinery and obtain big wood to make big turnings. If you find contentment and satisfaction making pieces that fit in one hand, then you've probably gotten to where you should be with your work. Great things come in small packages.
