Just tell them you don't have a big enough lathe.
You could suggest that they buy you a Oneway, and you will reconsider.

My wife has cranked out hundreds of quilts. I ask her to sew up some little
thing for me and she gets upset!!

Every time I see the name Husqvarna, regardless of the product
discussed, I feel just a wee bit shitty for ever selling my 250cc
Husqvarna dirt bike. Modern day dirt bikes are a whole lot better
suited for heavy motocross, but.... I worked a lot of menial part-time
jobs and chores to get the money together for that bike. It was a
dream come true....a victory of sorts.
My mother, who was never into baubles, was very happy to get a Nilfisk
vacuum for her birthday once. (Mind you, inside the birthday card was
also a reservation to my parents' favourite resort in the Swiss Alps.)
One thing I will always be grateful for and that was something my
maternal grandmother always said: "We're too poor to buy cheap stuff."
My grandfather always liked her saying that. He was a carpenter/
cabinet maker and had some really cool stuff. All Neander.

Does she actually do anything with it? I've never been married, but my
imagination likes to conjure a rich gorgeous wife with a great personality
that is really into woodworking. I should be so lucky.

It's great to be married to an engineer. They're very practical. So practical,
in fact, that I have survived -- not once, but *twice* -- giving my wife a
vacuum cleaner.
For Christmas.
At her request.
Am I lucky, or what?

No SHIT! Mine will not fix holes in my socks! Glad to hear that they hold
up that well. IIRC hers is almost 7 years old and has only 1 problem with a
reverse switch, $25 to repair and that was a shocker. Her machine however
sees "lots" of use and absolutely still looks new.

That is so true! What's up with that?
She says "I Quilt...I don't sew"
I built and armoire for the bathroom (towels storage above and his/her
hampers below). It took 2 years to have the fabric liners for the hampers
made.

I only had a few sports heroes in my youth. Torsten Hallman, Stirling
Moss, and Mike Hailwood. All motorsports guys in one form or another.
I used to collect marque badges, the small pins with a motor company's
logo on it. My prized one was a Husqvarna pin. I put it on the lapel
of my cousin, also a motocross buff, the day of his funeral.

Isn't a sewing machine sorta like a vacuum cleaner?

She does (a bit) were remodeling our house, room by room and she wants
to learn woodworking. So every chance I get I let her do the
cutting. She is gorgeous and has a great personality. The only
problem is I have to work my butt off to afford her.

Is there trouble on my horizon? I watch her struggling with the clumsy,
dirty bags, so I bought her a Dyson vortex bag-less. Same idea that works so
well in the shop (Oneida). Is it such a horrible idea? The beige carpets
really do need cleaning more than the once a week she manages to get in.
What's so wrong with a gift that helps her do that?

Just be sure she gets most of her designs from the freebies on the internet.
