Occasionally. There is a book called "Turning for furniture makers" that about sums me up. I turn when I need something for a piece of furniture or joinery. It is 20 years since I last turned a bowl or candlestick.
That's different , I like it lotsBeen turning a bit for just over a year. On and off - some weeks house or garden jobs take over and still a bit fo freelance HR work. Some weeks its too cold or even too hot out in the garage/workshop. Its supposed to be fun right, not an endurance test. Mostly bowls, odd boxes, but lately been wandering into simple sculptural forms including a Hepworth inspired divided circle with patinated copper leaf. Casts interesting shadows on the wall where it normally lives.
No intention of being 'commercial' but I agree with Terry above, I can't see how many people can make real money out of it. I'm just pleased I can afford the time and a modest amount of cash to treat it as a hobby.
