Maurice Franklin, Woodturner

Vaughn McMillan · Jan 25, 2011

I'm blatantly stealing this link that Ron Sardo posted on Woodturner's Resource. It's a great article about a guy who's been turning longer than most of us have lived, and I wanted to share it here:

The best quote:

I wake up every day and I stretch out my arms and if I don’t feel any wood on either side, then I know I can get up.

Thanks for sharing Vaughn.

I am sure he could turn spindles with his eyes closed.

Very inspiring.
I get a kick out of his lathe. Although large it sure is nothing fancy, very basic.
