posted to ABPW are the 1st 42 of 59 spindles of a hallway refurb I am
doing.
I got it down to 45 miutes each to turn and sand, but that's still about 7
days of solid work.
Do you ever get the feeling that you are a bit too obsessed with a project
and bite off an unreasonable amount of work?
I do.
FWIW, they are white oak (to be fumed) and the design was shamelessly ripped
off from an uninhabited mansion down the street from me.

Excellent work!! Are you going to do the fuming? Re: The design: They probably
ripped that one off from another mansion somewhere.

Sounds like a great excuse to buy a duplicating attachment for your
lathe - and maybe some new chisels?

Every time. Start out intending a quick and dirty and then get
into "but if I did this ....", with many "what the F**K was I
thinking!?" along the way, quickly followed by "I can. I can.
I think I can!", a shot of a calender - days blowing away like
leaves in an stiff autumn breeze, a clip from The Agony and
The Ecstasy. Eventually it gets to "I can't believe I made that?"
(sometimes that has a good meaning and sometimes ...). Not
long after that comes the "finding flaws" then onto the next
project. Of course I don't do wood for a living so time is not
an issue.

Artistes having been ripping off ideas from their
predecessors as well as their contempoararies since
shortly after the first carved fetish. You're merely
doing your part to perpetuate that honored tradition.
