I am the anti-Christ!
« on: September 19, 2015, 07:53:08 AM »
Yep, I am the anti-Christ; or so it seems. One of the galleries where I sell my work has opened a page about me on its web-site. They've taken text from copy that I supplied, then re-written and condensed it to suit their needs. Here's a screen-shot from the website.....



I think I'd better tell them before it offends a potential customer.

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

Too true, Graham.....a lady customer who bought several mushrooms (spread over 3 visits) from my shop, informed me that I could make a fortune on the internet, on 'certain sites', if only I were to make simple little wooden sex toys....after all, they weren't too different to the mushrooms!

The mind boggles.....

If I go down this road, I'll be looking for volunteers to do market research and product testing ;D

Or ai,m for the pagan market, magic mushrooms, wands, various other such things and different woods have different meanings as well. Any druids in your area?

Just out of interest I put asthetic into my spellchecker and it came up with atheistic.
BUT when I first put it in the line above predictive text corrected it automatically to aesthetic.
Sorry if I'm boring but I'm a code-word freak.
