Inspired by the recent thread of the fine web page showing fine
collections of wood turning products, I have made my own page to show
some of my work. I too would like to receive feedback as to what you
think of my collection. My web page design still needs some work, but
I am truly proud of my efforts so far.
Thanks for your input and support!

Hmm. When I looked at the site, my first thought was that it's intended
as a joke.
Edwin - wow you must really have applied yourself to that post.
Now I know why people come here to seek out feedback and help - its
because they want smart-ass comments like that to help them on their
way. Your magnanimity was overwhelming - so much so that I must have
missed it.
Take some advice from an animated rabbit - Walt Disney - Thumper - "If
you cant say something nice about someone, dont say anything at all"
Good wise words.
Irrespective of what they look like or how the site may appear - you
agree that it is correct for Mr Pawlowski to behave in such a juvenile
and ill-considered manner then?
Or perhaps it is my mistake. Silly me.
I thought people came on here to seek support, guidance and other
intangible benefits.
Should I be seeking the masochists 'R Us room instead?
lol - joke is certainly on me!
Mea culpa.
However on a more serious note -- in the short time I have been back
here following a 3 year absence - certain posters seem to be very quick
to criticise with little balance to the postings.
Yes I should have checked first - but was working to a principle!
Thanks for the heads up btw!

That's what I'd assumed. My first thought was that your lathe was
much neater than mine, I can't turn my spindles that direction.
Mine all spin on the long axis. %-)

I think the confusion that comes into play is that the ""this and that"
going on" is/was taking place in "rec.crafts.woodturning" not here on
"rec.woodworking".

Juvenile? Since when is the truth ill considered or ill mannered? Sorryt
if you think it is juvenile, but I did not see any truly worthwhile work on
your web page. No pictures, no text aside from a few words that it needs
work. There is nothing of value on your web page. Nothing of interest for
an adult. l Seriously, look at the quivering spindles. Perhaps a four year
old may think them cute, but they appear to be a cartoon that was animated,
not a gallery of work done on a lathe.
Perhaps you page did not upload properly? Is this your original beta page?
I stand by my honest comments. Yes, do come back when you have a photo or
two to share as I would be interested. OK, I'll make a postive comment. It
was a nice shade of white for the background.

No apology necessary. Heads up, that's a cute one. I think I know what your
head was up.

Looks like you are on the right track. I hope you can get it set up to show
the large format by clicking on the thumbnail
I've not done any turnings, but I do admire the work others can do and make
it look so easy.

All I see is some cartoonish looking spindles that quiver and make my
eyeballs hurt. Come back when you have something to show.

I kinda thought it was a waste of time also. Kinda like asking some one
to check out a book that you wrote but it has no words.

Jon, maybe this would all make more sense to you if you clicked on the link?
There are no photos of turnings, only a crudely animated graphic that
vaguely resembles a spindle. I'm quite certain you are the only one that
has taken offense, certainly due to you not "getting the joke" which
originated with the original poster and his "Quick Turning" link.
Good grief man. Get a clue and loosen up a little.

There are also those quick to take offense when no offense was meant.
Misunderstanding goes both ways, you know...

It's Usenet. If you don't have fireproof underwear, it's probably
better to find a moderated forum somewhere. You gotta take the good

Bit thin-skinned there, ain't we; who crapped in your cheerios? You
might take a look in abpw or abpf to find that most folks here are pretty
supportive of work that is posted and encourage one another in the pursuit
of this hobby.
I agree with Ed, there are no links from the rather small thumbnails that
show 4 blanks and what might be a finished spindle to anything larger on
the web page to which he was commenting. The gentleman asked for feedback,
he got it -- it wasn't all that disparaging, i.e.
a) The animated spindles are somewhat distracting
b) 2 pictures of Acacia blanks, and two redwood blanks are not
illustrative of one's turning capability.
c) The spindle shown might be interesting, but the thumbnail is to small to
see any detail.
d) If the OP inserted links that are not viewable from Mozilla, then it
would be a good idea to support other than Microsoft Browsers.
I think the OP may have gotten in a bit of a hurry putting together the
web page and did not properly link all what he intended to show.

Ed, thanks for the feedback. I have done some updates to the web
page and have added some pictures of the wood turnings I have
collected. I hope you like the update and again thanks for the great
feedback! <g>

You are probably right. Maybe I got in a bit of a hurry putting together
a reply and didn't fully link all the evidence into a coherent conclusion.

But they are cartoonish looking spindles that quiver. Did you check the

Bingo!
Was just trying to have some fun. With all of the "this and that"
going on here lately, seemed to me to be the right thing. Hope I
didn't offend anyone with my "sense" of humor.
Happy New Year and have fun making shavings and sawdust!
