Today ... a long time making long shavings and a cracked bowl.

Definitions of a woodturner.....

A person who is prolific in making wood shavings and sawdust
An expert in reducing £30 of timber to 30p of kindling
Long-term storer of wood which will rot or be burned
Collector of wood, tools, cuts and bruises
Someone who has not got a welder

And some quotes ....

Woodworking minus patience equals firewood.

A bad day woodworking is better than a good day working.
