Not my day

Got up early this morning, put three bowls up on my website and made it to the shop by 7:00 AM. Turned through the wall on a pretty hollow form, that’s one. Put another piece of beautiful maple on the lathe and turned another beautiful hollow form. Sanded through the wall, that’s two. Sawed a piece of birdseye maple veneer core and it got away from me. Ruined the saw blade but no damage to me. Mounted it in the lathe after sawing it with a new blade, turned a globe, hollowed it out and found two deep cracks in the top face, that’s three. I finally finished one small tiger maple bowl. Some days everything goes right and some days are like today. I’m just hoping tomorrow is back to normal.
