duckkisser Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 couple years ago some of us did a turning swap where we each made something and exchanged it by drawn name. i realy enjoyed giving away something i made and i was wondering if we wanted to do a art swamp again. i have a bowl made by by Joseph Johnson. and i love the fact i have a product made from a fellow artist. i have it siting in my office with all my odds and end in it. so i was wondering if we wanted to do this again sometime after Christmas. maybe make some rules like cant cost over 10$ and it has to represent who you are as a artist/craftsmen. is anyone interested in doing this? if enough people are interested in doing this after christmas then ill reach out to some of the other wood workers( more then just me ) in the hobby like the drunken wood worker and captain eddie castelin, carl jacobson maybe marc? and see if they want to join in on the fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 This sounds awesome. I like the idea can't cost more than 10 bucks would be interesting though I have an idea in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyrolan Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Oh no you are going to make Dave buy a lathe before he even gets the rest of his stuff assembled. =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Oh no you are going to make Dave buy a lathe before he even gets the rest of his stuff assembled. =p I give it 2 months before Dave has a lathe. First time he makes something round he's gonna need one. My lathe gets the most run time in my shop. Just be careful your wife, family, friends and just about anyone doesn't start requesting you make pens for them all. Though it's a great way to learn some lathe basics, it's where I started on the lathe. 3 years later and I'm still getting pen requests.

AstroDave Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 LOL I've been eying some lathes on CL...Hell if I had gone that route first I might have been making something at this point instead of assembling tools. Could made 15 or 20 bowls or cups or goblet or... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Dave, if you buy a lathe before I see a cutting board come out of your shop...you're banned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, I probably wouldn't attempt to contact Cap'n Eddie, as he has been going through some pretty serious health issues, with a lengthy recovery ahead of him.

Rick A McQuay Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Duck, your swap is a great idea. Having been in a number of swaps you might want to consider how you will match people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckkisser Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Duck, your swap is a great idea. Having been in a number of swaps you might want to consider how you will match people. Thought to get as many people involved and at the end of the time see how many finished. Then compile a list of completed work and have a random name generator assemble the pairs. And if we have a extra person I'll just make two of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raefco Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Dave, if you buy a lathe before I see a cutting board come out of your shop...you're banned. Spoil sport, buying stuff is a very good hobby if you can afford it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 And basically pointless. I never did understand "collecting" anything unless it's of some use. Not saying that's what Dave's doing, but tools are just worthless junk unless they're chewing wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
